MISSING IN ACTION
(MIA):
It’s a Statement, Not an Answer
THE FACTS OF THE UNTOLD STORY
Seventy-eight thousand Americans who served overseas in
our nation's armed forces from 1941-1945, never came home.
They were never heard from nor seen again. In the enormity
of WWII, the facts surrounding their deaths and
disappearances were either lost, discarded, or ignored. To
categorize these fallen, we as a nation simply call
them, "MIA's."

by authors Bill Bell and Jay Veith
"Leave No Man Behind" is the powerful story of Garnett "Bill" Bell's quest, at great
personal cost, to find and bring home the POWs and MIAs of the Vietnam War. With his
encyclopedic knowledge of the Vietnamese Communists and his fluency in various regional
dialects, he penetrated the system the Communists had created to exploit American POWs for
diplomatic concessions, or their remains and personnal effects for financial rewards.
