At a loss for words? Not sure what to tell the President or your
Congressman?
Well, here are three examples that you can use in their
entirety (just copy and paste),
or use parts of them to construct your own
letter.
Example #1:
"Dear Senator, what is being done to determine the fate of Sfc Daniel R
Phillips-USASF, who was last seen fighting his way through the perimeter
during the seige of LangVei on 2/7/68? No remains were ever found
although there was an intensive search of the area later on, and no one
saw him fall. There is no evidence that he was killed and he is known to
have been capable of surviving under harsh conditions. Please advise me
of any action that is being taken by you or any other elected appointed
official to determine his fate.
In the event there is nothing being done, please explain why not, and tell
me how you personally plan to correct this and prevent it from ever
happening again."
Example #2:
"Dear Sir, I am attaching the pertinent information on Col Harold Kahler,
of Lincoln, Nebraska. Col Kahler has been missing in action since 1969!!
We want to make you aware that his family, his friends, and myself, one
among many to take up the Cause, find this an outrage, and completely
unacceptable. I demand that you take a bit of time to look into this
matter--to help us find the Col, and if not to return him safely to his
family, then to put this issue to rest once and for all. It is appalling to
think you have given up on a human life. An American human life! One
who bravely and selflessly fought for YOUR freedom.
I shall tiredlessly continue to inquire in his behalf until my questions
have been satisfied."
Example #3:
"Dear Sir, What is being done to determine the fate of Col Harold Kahler,
USAF, who was last seen over Sam Neua, Laos, June 14, 1969?
This is an American pilot who has remained on the MIA list for 28 years.
Doesn't his devotion to his country award him the privilege and honor of
being buried in his own homeland soil if he is in fact deceased? Should,
by any miracle, Kahler remain alive, should he be left behind in a foreign
country knowing his country abandoned him? Do his family and loved
ones not deserve to know the fate of their son, brother, friend and loved
one nor be allowed to put a closure to this after so many years?
Please advise me of any action that is being taken by you or any other
elected or appointed official to determine his fate. In the event there is
nothing being done, please explain why not, and tell me how you
personally plan to correct this and prevent it from ever happening again."
