Always Remembered.

Today, we honor the courage of our prisoners of war, and those who went missing in action, and we remember their families who carry hope in their hearts.

Their strength inspires us to continue the search and to bring them home.

Semper Fidelis

After being recalled to active duty by the Marine Corps Reserve during the Korean War, a VMA-323 "Death Rattler" Corsair pilot did not want to worry his mother who was in ill-health in Illinois, so he convinced her that he was selling insurance in Florida. To maintain the ruse, he sent letters about his insurance-selling exploits to his wife in Jacksonville who then remailed them with a local postmark to Illinois. The pilot flew 75 combat missions before returning home and revealing the truth to his mother.
