To our oldest generation:

Thank you for believing that freedom was worth fighting for.

 

 

 

Don Madden, Da Nang, Vietnam, 1969

James Clifford McKittrick

Edward Joseph Guillory

On an observation helicopter, South Vietnam, June 1967.

Originally designated as "Missing in Action".

Also designated as "MIA: Declared Dead While Missing."

But now designated by our government as 

"Unaccounted For" and "Non-recoverable."

Could we please just designate them as 

"Veterans We'd Like to Have Had the Chance to Thank"?
