I did a MIA recovery with JPAC back in 2004 in Laos. We did recover a remain of a Macv sog medic and repatriated him back to Hawaii. Can’t remember the name of service member . But that I have to tell u my proudest moment just bringing him back home after all those years.

Amazing. My fathers remains were recoved from Laos in 1990. He was a CCN Huey pilot,who flew the RT's & SOG 70/71. I went out there to the area in Laos myself in 2001, and I saw some teams working to find guys. It was a precarious time and everyone I encountered was very suspicious of my prescence.

Remember the Ho chi minh trail in Laos was bombed into oblibion during the war. There was no smiling vilagers in this paticular area. I bet that has changed a bit since then.

Thank you for covering this important topic. My grand uncle went MIA on a mission across the fence in '65 and it took almost 35 years to find his remains but he was found, together with 3 ARVN soldiers, and they're buried at Arlington. I salute everyone who served in Vietnam. You deserved a decent welcome home but the war had become too politicized. I'm glad you're finally getting the recognition you well deserved. Welcome home. The POW-MIA issue needs more coverage and governments must work together to bring the heroes home. They made the ultimate sacrifice for their brothers and to defend freedom. Thanks again. Also, happy lunar new year (Tet) from Saigon. 🎋 For any Vietnam vets reading this, you may be pleased to know that Americans are still appreciated here and the locals still call the city Sai Gon. The "other name" is only used in official contexts. Also, House 10 still stands in District 1. If you wish to visit the south, you'll receive a warm welcome. Best wishes, Mikael Törni-Overmark, Saigon

I can relate,to your ‘heroes’ tribute. Not SF or anything close, just a peace time reservist, but the Viet Nam vets were my mentors in my formative years. Worked a job once when I was younger where I had the privilege of working with a number of retired SF and Special Ops guys, either field grade or senior NCOs. Learned a lot. SOG ops were among the boldest, most courageous in US history. May all who couldn’t come home RIP.

Many live prisoners were left behind. I was an Intelligence Coordinator (97C) in the Delta in 72. We ran agent networks. As late as Christmas 1972 we had reports of American prisoners being moved around in the area. No way 3 months later they were among those prisoners released in Hanoi. When Saigon fell in 75, many Vietnamese soldiers and civilians gave reports of live prisoners being held in the jungle camps. They were ignored by our Government and suppressed. One of the politicians who helped suppress this information was John McCain.

A gentleman I was honored to know was I believe the 5th longest serving POW in Vietnam until the last official exchange, I believe a few members of the local VVA put together a small book about his story. Sadly he passed away a few years ago, but now has a local bridge named is his honor... He experienced some truly horrific things, but his wife fought like hell for him and many other Vietnam vets for benefits and VA treatment... She always called herself the nicest meanest 70lb bitch you've ever met 😄 Wonderful woman (she had a pretty serious chronic thyroid issue but that didn't stop her tenacity for fighting on behalf of Vietnam vets)

January 22 1988, Sam Neua Province Laos, US satellite reconnaissance photography films in a dry rice paddy outside a detention facility with reports of American POW's being held long after the war "USA K." "USA" was dug into the ground, the "K" which is a pilot distress symbol was constructed from burned rice stalk. You can find this image online, the "declassified" image that is. What you will not find is the image with a four-digit pilot authenticator number, and a last name also dug into the earth close to this symbol. In 1992, I believe it was a retired USAF Colonel Burrows that was a specialist in aerial imagery stated there was a four-digit authenticator number, which matched the name of a US serviceman MIA from the Vietnam War, and his last name was also stamped below his authenticator. "1104 WRYE" was filmed next to the "USA K" imagery. "1104" was the personal authenticator of Blair C Wrye, MIA. This wasn't the first time "1104" had been filmed. In 1992, during the Senate Select Committee Hearings on POW/MIA affairs, the "USA K" satellite imagery was reviewed, the "1104 WRYE" imagery was never reviewed because the Vietnamese handed over remains for Blair C Wrye the year previous. I've heard it was a single tooth that closed his case. Maybe look up the case of Daniel Borah sometime. Yes, Vietnamese soil is highly acidic. So why did our recovery teams find incomplete remains burred inside a well preserved flight suit and a survival vest? You could have placed that flight suit on ebay, when in reality all that should have been left of it was it's zippers. Also, Ann Mills Griffiths is a controversial person among the MIA family community. She is no doubt, a great person in contributing to the remains recovery process. She has done great work bringing closure to many MIA families by helping our government find, identify, and properly bury our nation's servicemen. That being said, she is also the reason many MIA family members splintered off from the League of Families, and started their own group. She dismisses the idea that American servicemen were held Prisoner of War after the war. In my honest assessment, she had her brother's remains returned, legitimately he was KIA, and is now financially well off because of government pay-offs, and is now in tow with the US government position that no US servicemen were held POW after our withdraw from SE Asia, and a mouthpiece for their agenda. I mean no disrespect to John Meyer, or the creator of this channel. Thank you both for your service.

Keef Taylor, I think you and I have been reading up on the same thing. I am so angry that we left pows behind and refused to pursue the issue. Refusing to investigate live pow evidence. Nixon sold out. Even John McCain ironically try to block any questions on the pow/Mia issue until years later when he and John Kerry decided to go over to Vietnam and start trying to repatriate our missing servicemen's bodies. I cannot imagine being alive and some Laotian prison camp and knowing my country left me there.

JSM seems a very approachable person and what he went through is an amazing story. The way the Vietnam war was conducted was down to idiots in charge. It’s not well known but prior to the return of the French the British Army were in Vietnam and they used Japanese soldiers to fight the then Viet Minh. They were winning the battle through discipline and approach. That all went tits up when control went back to the French. Their battle flag of a white cross on a white background proved a point. They lost at Dien Ben Phu. I feel so angry at the way the US treated their own soldiers before, during and after the war. May all lost souls be found.

Page 277: 'No of course he didnt come out in 73 he said he had been left behind' the major explained. 'He had been switched back and forth [from Laos to Vietnam] several times. All of a sudden in [1977] they [his Vietnamese guards] had given him a new set of clothes, cleaned him up, given him a shave, and they were out of there'. Lane went from a Vietnamese prison to Hanoi, then on to Bangkok, where he was met by U.S officials. "He indicated that he wasnt the only one. A couple of others came out when he came out' the major says. When pressed for more details , Lane said 'I cant tell you its all classified' Besides Lane said 'Im still working for the government'. According to the major: 'He admitted he had been "down south" where he was wounded in the leg. To the special operations community, that meant central America, perhaps Nicaragua, or 'over the fence' as special force soldiers used to call covert missions in support of the contras. But there was one more question the major had to ask. "I knew that he had people, and I asked 'what about your family?' And he said he had never told them'. Quoted from the book The men we left behind; Henry Kissinger the politics of deciet and the tragic fate of POWs after the Vietnam war.
