The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia's
sole purpose is to obtain the release of all prisoners, the fullest possible accounting for the missing and repatriation of
all recoverable remains of those who died serving our nation during the Vietnam War.

The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast
Asia was incorporated in the District of Columbia on May 28, 1970. Voting membership is comprised solely of the wives,
children, parents and other close relatives of Americans who were or are listed as prisoners of war, missing in action, killed
in action/body not recovered and returned Vietnam War U.S. POWs. Associate membership is comprised of extended relations of
POW/MIAs who do not meet voting membership requirements and other concerned citizens. |

CFC NUMBER #1174
We're nationally
eligible for the entire 2006 campaign; our CFC number is #1174. We fully anticipate being nationally eligible for the 2007
campaign starting in the fall, possibly with the same number, but we won't know that for certain until officially notified.
In the interim, the name of the League can be written in if donors don't have it readily available. There are many worthy
causes and countless requests, but we hope that the League's many years of responsible credibility, the importance of our
mission to today's active-duty community and our urgent need for additional staff will persuade many to seriously consider
the League as deserving of CFC/United Way contributions.
RECOGNITION DAY 2006: September 15, 2006 is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Over the past several years, all or most of the 50 states have proclaimed
POW/MIA Recognition Day in conjunction with the national effort. | |
