On September 12 nike
shox monster sale , in Hanoi, the VVA Veterans Initiative Task
Force was awarded the prestigious Medal for Peace and Friendship Among Nations
in recognition of the continuing contributions VVA has made in the exchange of
information about fallen Vietnamese during the war. At a subsequent meeting, the
Joint POWMIA Accounting Command (JPAC), Detachment 2, in Hanoi briefed VVA's
VITF team (Robert Maras, Bob Johnston, Gary Jones, Bill Duker, Grant Coates, and
Mokie Porter) on operations in Vietnam. There were several requests from JPAC
for the team to present to the Vietnamese officials throughout the trip; in
particular, access to specific excavation sites. At the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, the VITF delegation met with Ambassador Le Van Bang Vietnam's first
Ambassador in Washington at the Vietnam Office of Seeking Missing Personnel to
discuss the need to reestablish Joint Field Activities in the Central Highlands.
Access has been limited in the Highlands due to unrest over land and religious
issues. Le Bang noted that although the situation in the Central Highlands
remains sensitive, there is improvement. JPAC and VNOSMP have conducted some
interviews and investigations; however, no excavations are scheduled. At a
meeting with the Veterans Association of Vietnam cheap

reaffirmed his organization's commitment to working with VVA: "The Vietnamese
government has always considered the MIA issue as humanitarian, so the two
organizations would continue to cooperate to overcome the damage left by the
war." General Thuy presented each member of the delegation with a copy of the
diaries of Dr. Dang Thuy Trau, a 27-year-old North Vietnamese Army surgeon who
was killed in a battle near Duc Pho in 1970. Her diaries were saved by an
American soldier in 1970. The soldier, who later became an FBI agent, kept the
diaries for over thirty years and eventually succeeded in locating the doctor's
82-year-old mother in Hanoi and sharing them with her. Published in July 2005,
the diaries have sold over 350,000 copies in Vietnam. The meeting between VVA's
VITF and the Veterans Association of Vietnam was attended by many from the Hanoi
press corps, including Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France Press, Vietnam
News, TV 1 (Vietnam Television) nike

community), Nhan Dan, Peoples Army Newspapers, Saigon Times, the Labor Daily,
the Yomiuri Shimbum. As they traveled south, the VITF delegation met with the
People's Committee and Veterans Associations in Thua Thien-Hue Province, Quang
Tri Province, Quang Nam Province, Danang City, Ho Chi Minh City, and Ben Tre
Province. During the visit to Hue, the VITF delegation met a delegation of
Australian veterans and the two delegations shared information about the missing
from both sides. More than 500 Australians died in Vietnam. Four Australian Army
soldiers and two RAAF airmen remain missing. In Quang Nam Province, the Veterans
Association of Vietnam represents 30 nike

veterans are believed to have AO-related illnesses and 500 children have birth
defects. Unexploded ordnance is an ongoing problem for the province. The
veterans of Quang Nam Province and the VITF have worked together for more than
11 years; their hard-earned relationship has led to the recovery of both
American and NVA war dead from the battlefield of Ngok Tavak. Veterans there
face a new challenge: The battlefield of Kham Duc, 75 kilometers west of Tam Ky
in northernmost I Corps, has been designated an "Enterprise Zone" and is slated
for a strip mining project. In August 2005, a Joint Field Activity successfully
recovered the remains of some American and Vietnamese soldiers, but, because of
finances, the recovery mission was not completed. A second field activity,
scheduled for spring 2006, should complete the mission. In Hanoi, JPAC had
expressed concerns that the strip mining project might supersede the recovery
efforts. The vice chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Nam Province in
Tam Ky gave her word that the excavation of the battle site would take priority
and the mining project would be delayed until the excavation was complete. The
veterans of Quang Nam Province have vowed they would allow no development until
the recovery of American and Vietnamese soldiers is complete. Also in Quang Nam
Province, at the urging of JPAC, the VITF asked for information about an
American servicemember who remains unaccounted for. The team received detailed
information in response to their inquiry nike
roshe flyknit for sale , and this information has been turned over
to JPAC for evaluation. In keeping with our commitment of confidentiality to the
families of those who remain unaccounted for, it will be up to the family to
decide to share this information. While in the North, VITF members compared war
memories with a Vietnamese veteran who had been an instructor in a military
school under the Air Force and Anti-Aircraft Command of the Peoples' Army of
Vietnam. While in Bien Hoa, Grant Coates and Bob Johnston were invited to visit
with friends of the veteran's family. When they spoke about their mission in
Vietnam, the conversation turned to a discussion about American remains that had
been buried nearby and, to the best of their knowledge, hadn't been removed.
This information was immediately relayed to JPAC, which followed up with an
interview. VVA was consistent in its message that by working veteran to veteran,
Vietnamese and American veterans can achieve extraordinary results. At each
meeting, the VITF delegation provided recently received information about three
mass burial sites in three provinces that reportedly contained over 90
Vietnamese KIA. During the course of its existence, the VITF has provided
documents and information from American veterans concerning over 9,000
Vietnamese KIA in various locations.
