Thank you so much for posting this. I have a family member on this list, Donald L. Harrison. The fact that he is on this list is the reason I am struggling with the issue of having to vote for John McCain. There is no way I can vote for Clinton or Obama - but how can I vote for McCain knowing that he and John Kerry were instrumental in literally “sending these missing men up the river”? I still have some of the recordings of the POW/MIA hearings on tape. I’ve been slapping my hands to keep from watching them again. It was hard enough the first time while watching the hearings on TV. Perhaps it’s much easier for young people who did not live through the Vietnam War to think that McCain is a good and honorable man. I have no hard feelings against McCain when it is about his own experience as a POW. But, I do have very strong feelings about the issue of ignoring the fact that there were men left behind long after he was able to return to his life in the US. My family member did not have that choice. And, to this day, we still do not know what happened to Donald Leigh Harrison. I suspect we never will.
I have watched the tapes numerous times and there is no way I will ever vote for that cretin. Many others are speaking out. There is no way the vast majority of veterans will vote for him!
