Sadly last night I learned that Billy Hendon passed. This was a great and amazing man who fought on behalf of the POW/MIA.
Congress B. Hendon spent time with us here in NH during a Network Vigil and Freedom Ride..I remember when the President Don and I were taking him back to the Airport in Manchester and talking about everything we could think of, one question asked was, “ with all the info on both sides, whom are we to believe”? He stated, “ Nobody, study the evidence and find Out yourself “!

Sharing this from John Molloy....
He spent nearly 4 decades working intensively to bring American POWs home from Vietnam. He was the co author with Elizabeth Stewart of New York Times Best Seller: An Enormous Crime The Definitive Account of American POWs Abandoned in Southeast Asia. Billy also produced the following u tube video and his dedicated efforts caused him severe financial distress.
Sacred Ground for America in Hanoi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luz1Hy2NFUQ
We owe it to Billy to make every effort to get the sealed/classified records of the returned POWs opened so that we can obtain information on those who were abandoned and on the collaborators, like John McCain, who basks in the reputation of a hero/patriot when he is slime.
Please remember Billy in your prayers.
May Our Lord welcome Billy to his eternal rest where he shall be able to meet those whom he tried his utmost to rescue.

"As an American asked to serve, I was prepared to fight,
to be wounded,to be captured and even prepared to die,
but I was not prepared to be abandoned."

As has been stated for the many years. Faith, Trust, Truth, Responsibility and Accountability are still important.
Over the years people from the area, state and country have gathered in support of those POW's who have returned, their family, as well as those who did not and those MIA's and the abundance of evidence that shows were left behind. The theme, "When one American life is not worth the effort, we as Americans have lost" is still a fact and today with American soldiers, men and women, serving in harm's way, is even more important. We as American must stay vigilant on their behalf in support of their families.

Dear Bob,
Would probably be useful for families, activists and
vets to add comments to this new Fox piece on POWs (some comments there now
suggest this should NOT be a priority)
Here's
the latest from Mark Sauter concerning the upcoming summit.
