Readers speak: We must honor CT’s POWs and those MIA

September 19, 2025

“You are not forgotten“ is the slogan beneath the silhouette of the prisoner of war on the POW/MIA flag.

Let us remember the over 80,000 unrecovered prisoners of war, those missing in action, and their families from WWI to the present. Friday, September 19 is National POW/MIA Recognition Day – a day set aside each year nationally to remember them.

But we, as a nation, must do more than remember POWs and MIAs once a year. It has been 50 years since the last helicopter left the rooftop of the American Embassy in Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. Why haven’t all the records of those for whom there has been no accounting been released, unredacted, to their families and the public?

What can you do? Please write to Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump to declassify all the files for release, first to the families and then to the public.
