The following is a list of POW's or MIA's
from the Danville - Pittsylvania County area of Virginia.

As of today there are still some 80,000 POW\MIA's from W.W.II, 8,205 from Korea and 1,981 from Vietnam. Of the 1,981 soldiers from Vietnam almost 600 of them were lost in Laos. The Laotians admitted holding American prisoners, but these men were never negotiated for either by direct negotiation between the countries or through the Paris Peace Accords which ended the War in Vietnam as Laos was not a party to that agreement.

Every day reports are received by our government and many reports document LIVE Americans who remain unaccounted for.

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO EACH AND EVERY SOLDIER AND TO THEIR FAMILIES.

NEVER LET THEM BE FORGOTTEN!
