It may be news to many Americans that today is POW/MIA Day,but that doesn't mean its importance is less. To our knowledge we have only one POW and that is Bowe Bergdahl who has been held for more than two years now. I will quote from Chuck Z as to what you can do to help him. The best way to do anything to help him is to increase awareness of his absence. Put pressure on politicians to tell the Pentagon to pull out all the stops and use any means to recover him, and also to tell the public that we will bear any burden, suffer any sacrifice, and kill as many Taliban and their families, friends, and neighbors as we have to in order to bring this Soldier home. If it isn't worth it, politically, to do that for one soldier, then how many do we have to have as POWs until it is? To get more info, I'd ask that you contact the following POC's: Bergdahl family contact: Idaho Nat'l Guard, COL Timothy Marsano. timothy.marsano@us.army.mil 208-422-5268 Army Human Resources Command (HRC): LTC Stacy Bathrick stacy.bathrick@us.army.mil 502-613-4226 Bowe needs to come home, and the family would love as much assistance in getting the info out there as possible. These two POC's are the ones that have all the latest info, and are at liberty to speak on behalf of the family and the situation. This issue should not be dependent on whether we have a bunch of POWs, it is a matter of keeping faith with those who put themselves in harm's way and their families at home.
