Yes, Stevie.

I've been struggling with this knowledge for years on how to present it to the public at large. It is taking on two powerful giants at the same time to tell about our work in the POW/MIA realm.

I shudder to think how this will affect the Families of POW/MIAs -- many will believe that their loved one was on that list. And we really don't know if they were or they weren't. I've seen the pain of the families. I've talked with hundreds of them -- and I've worked for thousands of them.

To me and others at the POW/MIA office, they were the most important part of the mission.

I'm not smart enough to balance the need for disclosure and respect for privacy -- but I'm going for disclosure now.

I think it's time this story was heard...

- Chief

When President Bush is re-elected in November we must not let all this information be lost.

Members of this forum must help.

The search must be properly re-newed.

NavyChief, thank you

Thank you for sharing that Chief. Not a surprise to me or anyone else that suspected it, and it's a shame that maybe even Bush 41 thought Kerry with his knowledge and influence would do the right thing. That photo of Kerry in a humble stance meeting commie #1 in Vietnam that came to light recently was his main focus instead...

Who else can we persuade to retire, so they can spill more torrid details to finish off Kerry's hopes to bring this country down??

Thanks again NavyChief.

Navy Chief, God bless you and everyone else involved in uncovering the truth.

As far as the coverup goes...The wicked call evil good and good evil.

The truth shall set us free. Good will prevail in the end.

I now see why the Chief is investing so much time and effort into this cause. That is the most sickening action I have ever heard being committed by an elected official in this country. That type of thing should be punished by a few years in Leavenworth, minimum, in my opinion.

My home confuser has been out of commission for almost two weeks. As a former Chapter president of Rolling Thunder, the premier POW/MIA action group in the USA, we need to have this info posted on our National web-site. BTW, National did endorse GWB on Memorial Day in WDC. I can't do any more than ask for help because at work, I am restricted from doing very much. Help!?!

Navy Chief,

Have you been on the powmiafamiliesagainstjohnkerry.com site? I would bet the shredding, leaking and obstruction that a John F. McCreary (in signed depositions) tells about is directly related to this. Does anyone know if that John F. McCreary is still alive and where he is. It would be interesting for you to compare notes. My hunch is that in the hurry to normalize relations with Vietnam and line the pockets of Colliers (and the Lippo group), Clinton and Kerry and others shredded any evidence of pow/mia's.
Someone needs to start a research post about this. There is a lot on the internet and more that could be found with everyone looking. Tying the Clinton Admin. with pow/mia cover-up and the money making of Colliers and the Lippo group would be huge.
Any rumors that the list is still around or who might be on it?

Chief,
Your hard work is inspiring, if you need my help with anything(not that I'm influential or anything) let me know

Browse through this site. It is a story of a service man who was documented to still be in Vietnam when Kerry and his committee declared there were none. Read the history of this and be sure and pull up the satellite drawing of his serex code. I don't know why this is not on every tv channel I have a feeling that if the internet had been as prevalent in 1992 this is a story that would have grown legs. You may have to turn the music down because it gets a little tiring.

Thanks, gulf1609.

And that's just one web site. The enormity of information out there is mind-boggling. The "atmosphere to debunk" is still in full force in the very offices which are supposed to be getting to the bottom of these men's stories.

Before Swifts were founded, I had started digging and printing and trying to make some sense of it all.

I'm strictly amateur when it comes to research, but I'm fairly organized and it was STILL a monumental task.

Muddying the waters is that there are several groups who claim to speak for the families of POW/MIA's and even THEY don't agree on who's who and what's what.

It will take years. It will take a dedicated team of researchers and data entry for cross-referencing and writers and mappers and timeliners to put the story together - especially when you consider the complete lack of information at getting at the truth at the higher echelons.

I doubt very much that any are still alive - but dammit, it's frustrating to see how our own agencies not only gave up, but actually threw up roadblocks and stonewalled the families who deserved to KNOW.
