If it were your father or husband what would you say?

I can think of many things that are a waste. Recovering hero’s is a responsibility to God and Country.

$52 million is what, $6.50 apeice, for all of us in America. No, that isn’t too much. Bring home all who can be brought home. We owe no less.

My uncle's remains were unearthed during an excavation of a French farmhouse in 1964. In July, 1944 while he and his division (83th Infantry Division) were engaging the enemy near St. Lo, he was declared missing-in-action. For twenty years his loving family and wife (with a newborn) knew nothing about his disappearance.

The uncertainly and anguish they went through for 20 years was beyond description. Always the uncertainty. Always wondering what had become or their son, brother, husband, uncle, etc.

I would venture a guess that the family would have thought it the duty of the country he gave his life for to attempt all efforts at recovering his remains. I for one would ask no less of this nation, at whatever the costs.

His remains now rest in Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia.

Someone upthread sez this is a "debt of honor". I agree.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I replied to the blog that those people would expect us to spend any amount of money to find them, but not for our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. I also said “let them stuff it.”

If we do not make every attempt to recover our own, we belong in the ash heap of history.
