Belcher and Miller are listed
among the missing because their |
bodies were not recovered to
bury in America. Families of those |
classified Killed/Body Not Recovered,
Missing in Action and |
Prisoner of War consider all
the men missing to be prisoners |
of war - dead or alive. They
understand that even the most |
apparent "death" could have
meant survival. They write no |
American soldier off until there
is proof they are dead and their |
bodies returned. Sadly, there
are many who, like Belcher and |
Miller, appear to have died
the day they were lost. Even more |
tragic are the cases of hundreds
who were last known to be alive, |
or known to be a prisoner of
war, or who simply disappeared |
with no trace. Nearly 10,000
reports have been received by the |
U.S. Government concerning these
Americans who are still |
missing, including over 1000
eye-witness reports of captive |
americans. Many authorities
believe that there could be hundreds |
of Americans still alive in
enemy hands today. |
. |
As long as even one American
remains in enemy hands, there can |
be no honor in the deaths of
Belcher and Miller, nor in the deaths |
of the nearly 60,000 young Americans
who died in Vietnam. If |
Belcher and Miller, by some
chance survived, what would they |
think of their country? It's
time we brought our men home. |
