We would like to acknowledge the actions of Air Force Academy Master Sergeant Greg Meinert for his ongoing actions in trying to account for the remains of those Airmen still listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War. The US Air Force lost 2,600 Airmen and 2,500 aircraft during the was with 568 airmen still classified as missing in action.
There is a disporportunate number of airmen still missing when compared to the other services because most aircrews were lost behind enemy lines.
We certainly thank MSG Meinert and the teams of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command for their time, attitude, and effort. Thank you for remembering our MIA’s. These soldiers are worthy of every honorable mention that we can give them. We also see many of our customers honor the missing by creating the POW/MIA ring. We want to thank all of you for helping the missing to be remembered.
