‘The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
‘Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Madam Speaker:
thas come tothe attention of Rolling Thunder, Inc. and AMVETS National Headquarters that a
disturbing number of members of Congress have recently decided to stop displaying the members of|
the Prisoners Of War / Missing in Action flag atthe entrances of their congressional offices.
‘The prominent posting of this flag has long served asa daily reminder to our elected lawmakers, their
staff and all who vist the halls of Congrece that we asa ation will not forget the 82,000 eorvies
‘members still usaccounted for. We will never forget!
‘We acknowledge the POW/MIA flags have, in some instances, been removed from thei long-time
positions to make room to show support of rase awareness for other notable causes. We do not take
‘issue with those other flags or causes. But itis wholly unacceptable to take down the POW/MIA flag
‘until every American service member is brought home or accounted for.
‘We understand itis possible some lawmakers do not understand the meaning and purpose of the fla.
We urge them to learn about the POW/MIA flag and issue as a whole. Jointly, Rolling Thunder and
AMVETS offer up our staf and members to help in their earning.
‘Together, Rolling Thunder and AMVETS call on every member of Congress to ensure the POW/MIA
flag is properly displayed atthe offical entrance of every elected lawmaker’s office immediately.
‘We applaud you for your dedication to our nation’s veterans and look forward to seeing the
POW/MIA flag back up outside every office.
Sincerely,
ARTIE MULLER SBIR JOSEPH. CHENELLY
