Read: Psalm 55:16-23
Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. —Psalm 55:17
Bible In One Year: Psalms 66-67; Romans 7
In May 2003, a powerful earthquake struck northern Algeria. TV news images showed distraught people searching the rubble for survivors, while others numbly visited hospitals and morgues to see if their loved ones were alive or dead. Families stood together weeping and crying out for help. Their burden of uncertainty and grief could be seen, heard, and felt.
If you've experienced an intense feeling of loss, you'll appreciate the words of David in Psalm 55, penned during a painful time in his life. Oppressed by the wicked, hated by his enemies, and betrayed by a friend, David spoke of the anxiety and anguish that threatened to crush his spirit: "Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me" (v.5).
But instead of caving in to fear, David poured out his heart to God: "As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice" (vv.16-17).
Prayer lifts our eyes from personal tragedy to the compassion of God. It enables us to cast our burdens on the Lord instead of breaking under their weight. When our hearts are filled with pain, it's good to call on God in prayer—morning, noon, and night. —David McCasland

Source: Compiled by Homecoming II Project 01 September 1990 from one or more of the following: raw data from U.S. Government agency sources, correspondence with POW/MIA families, published sources, interviews. Updated by the P.O.W. NETWORK 2003 with information from family. See below.
REMARKS:
SYNOPSIS:The Douglas A1 Skyraider ("Spad") is a highly maneuverable,
propeller driven aircraft designed as a multipurpose attack bomber or
utility aircraft. The A1 was first used by the Air Force in its Tactical Air
Command to equip the first Air Commando Group engaged in counterinsurgency
operations in South Vietnam, and later used in a variety of roles, including
rescue missions. Capt. John R. Burns was the pilot of an A1E aircraft on an operational mission with another plane about 20 miles southeast of the city of Sam Neua, Laos on August 4, 1966. Burns radioed his wingman for directions and after receiving them the wingman's aircraft flew into a rain cloud. After emerging from the clouds, the wingman observed Burns' aircraft to crash. No parachute was seen and no emergency radio beeper was heard. Burns was declared Missing in Action, based on the possibility that he had ejected unseen.
Burns was flying the E model of the Skyraider, which usually carries two crewmen. There is no mention of a second crewman on this flight in Air Force data, and there is no other American missing on that day. It is assumed that Burns was flying alone.
The nature of Burns' mission is not stated in Air Force summaries. Because of the rather remote area of loss, it is not believed that the A1E was on a rescue mission, but probably a bombing mission.
According to the Air Force account, information that Burns died at the time of the incident was received in the Department of the Air Force which led to Burns' status being changed to killed in action on October 11, 1966. The nature of the information is not addressed in the account.
John R. Burns is still listed among the missing because no body has been found. Since the war ended in Vietnam, refugees have flooded the world, bringing with them stories of American soldiers still held prisoner in their homeland. Many authorities now believe that hundreds were left behind as living hostages.
John R. Burns apparently did not survive the crash of his aircraft. His family has undoubtedly accepted his death, and no longer expect him to come home. But hundreds of families wait expectantly and in the special agony only uncertainty can bring. Hundreds of men wait in caves, cages and prisons. How much longer will we allow the abandonment of our best men? It's time we brought them home.
