In the course of the last 30 years the Missing from Vietnam have changed status from MIA to KIA (Killed In Action) many times. The push for the government to find each and every one of them is continuing and we have found and identified a few even this year. But it is a slow process. As I find better information, and as the new reports are made available I will share them with you. In the meantime, help keep the hope alive - They may be gone, but they are not forgotten!
