Summary: POW's still in Vietnam
Comment: I posted this on other POW websites and will continue to as long as I live. I've been telling anyone who would listen about it since I was in my mid 20's. I'm in my 40's now.
When I met my husband in 1979. He had just escaped Vietnam the year before. He was one of the boat people. He told me way back in 1979 that he had seen American POW's as late as 1978 with his own eyes on more then one occasion. He was riding his scooter far out in the country side and saw a group of tall, long haired and bearded Caucasion men working the rice paddy fields under Vietnamese armed guard. When he looked a little too long and too hard the guards aimed thier rifles at him so he looked away and kept driving.
He said the Caucasian mens faces were very sad.
My husband wouldn't lie to me. He still insists it true and we have told many people about it
Since then I made it a point to question every Vietnemese refugee I met. Several had told me they saw them with their own eyes as late as 1982.
I was also told that it was common knowledge in Vietnam that American POW's were still there.They were surprised that most Americans didn't know about it. They just figured maybe we didn't want them back or didn't care.
I don't know how much of Bobby Garwoods story is true. But, I know what my husband and others told me about seeing POW's as late as 1978- 1982. The only ones who seem to believe this story when we tell it, are Vietnam vets. Others are too horrifed to beleive it, but since my friends know my husband wouldn't make this up, they rationalize that yes, maybe he did see them, but they were most likely traitors, collaborating with the enemy and staying there by their own choice. If that is so why were they bedraggled, long haired and beared, emanciated and working at gun point with sad haunted faces? I don't know if there are any left alive now. It's been so long. But, I pray for them every night.

Summary: A must read for all Americans!
Comment: I am an avid reader of non-fiction books regarding the horrible treatment of our nation's heros before and after they returned home from Vietnam--If they were lucky enough to return home at all. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS-WE CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST, BUT BY READING THIS TRUE STORY WE CAN HONOR THOSE THAT SERVED OUR COUNTRY. WE ALL NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR COUNTRY'S STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES,AND SOMETIMES FLATOUT FAILURE TO PROTECT THOSE THAT SERVE THIS COUNTRY AND PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM.

Summary: Why Didn't You get Me Out?
Comment: Frank Anton's moving account of what happened to him in Vietnam is not only a POW's mightmare, but one for all of us Americans who left him there. I have been honored to meet Frank, in Florida, on our journey across America with our huey helicopter, while filming the documentary "In The Shadow of the Blade". His account of what our governement knew and didn't do, is shocking. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to get a full total picture and understanding of the Vietnam War experience. He has recorded a part of our history and a part of his very own soul! This is a must read book!
