Thank you for taking some time to visit my POW/MIA adoption pages.  They are not complete, in fact they probably never will be.  As I find out more about each of my adoptees, I will be updating their page.  I am also adopting two more as I write this.

It is not because I'm a vet I am doing this.  It is because I am an American and I want all of our POW/MIA's home.  Not only military but also the civilian prisoners and missing.  I want them ALL home.

My brother is a Vietnam vet.  He was a doorgunner and to this day does not talk about Vietnam.  He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army shortly after returning home, but because of the ghosts he carries with him, he was unable to resume a "normal" civilian life.  After approximately one year, he re-enlisted.  Today he is a Sergeant Major in the Army soon to be retiring.  What he will do, I don't know but I will be there for him in any way I can. 
He is my brother, I love him and I'm very proud of him.

Vietnam changed the brother I had grown up with.  He returned home a different man.  He no longer laughed and joked around.  He no longer showed any emotion other than anger.  These were not subtle changes, they were abrupt and very telling of the horrors he must've seen and experienced. 

But, I have my brother, unlike thousands of others.  I can't imagine what it must be like for the parents, siblings, spouses and children of our prisoners and missing.  The not knowing must be unbearable.  "Life" continues to tumble on in one sense but in another, time must've stopped the day they heard about their family members status.  If there is a family member of a POW/MIA who happens to visit this site, please email me and tell me how you cope.  The strength you must have.  It is also you, the family members I honor. 

Once again, I'd like to thank you for visiting and please bookmark the site, the changes will be continuing until the day we get them all home!
