Friday is National POW/MIA Awareness Day. Interesting to note is the FACT that we have an American soldier (PFC Bowe Bergdahl) being held as “POW” in Afghanistan at this time and most Americans are not aware because of simple terminology change. The term POW/MIA was changed 15 years ago and Americans who risk their lives and are captured are NOT granted protection under the Geneva Conventions because of Terminology which is now “Missing-Captured” and where is the outcry from all those who “Support the Troops”?

 Are American troops, men and women, now disposable objects not worth negotiating for ? Once captured we Americans are to sit back and wait for Remains ?

 You can believe those troops there, those boots on the ground, have done and are doing everything possible for this soldier. The problem is, those in DC who direct the Wars and call for support HIDE these Americans through change of terminology. Faith, Trust and Truth..Lacking !!

 Maybe all those who wave the flag and actually support the troops may on Friday the 18^th make a call to your Congress Rep. AND Senator and Demand the terminology be changed to the recognized POW/MIA so as to grant any possible protection to this American Soldier. Accept the responsibility on behalf of those we SAY we care about and are grateful for. saying “Thank you for your service” is NOT enough..Do something !!
