MISSING IN ACTION
(MIA):
It’s a Statement, Not an Answer
THE FACTS OF THE UNTOLD STORY
Seventy-eight thousand Americans who served overseas in
our nation's armed forces from 1941-1945, never came home.
They were never heard from nor seen again. In the enormity
of WWII, the facts surrounding their deaths and
disappearances were either lost, discarded, or ignored. To
categorize these fallen, we as a nation simply call
them, "MIA's."

Caught in the clutches of unimaginable horror with his very flesh
stripped from his bones, time and time again he spat in the eye of his
sadistic captors saying " I will not surrender." As great as any hero
from the pages of history, he was an American, a young man from
Boston, he was...a United States Marine! His name, William Joseph
Lynch. Of the more than 1,500 U.S.slave laborers held by Imperial
Japanese forces in China's Mukden prison during World War Two, only
one escaped who remains to this day, unaccounted for ...
Staff Sergeant William Joseph Lynch. That however, with your help, may
soon change.

Marauder Team #7, our all-volunteer team of world renowned, scientists
must raise $25k for the excavation and analysis of the site that all
evidence gathered to date suggests, holds the remains of SSgt. Lynch.
The cooperation of the local Chinese government has been secured.
Through a journey virtually as epic as Lynch's own, Marauder
genealogists have located SSgt Lynch's next of kin. Two of his nieces
are now standing by ready to provide DNA samples.
We've done all we can. It now comes down to you! Will you help? Your one
time, $10 donation will aid in the telling of this Marine's remarkable quest
for freedom while bringing closure to his family.
(Funds raised beyond the stated objective for "Operation Mukden" go
directly to the Marauder's general fund recognizing that regardless of
one's branch of service, all who fought and died for the freedom every
American holds so dear, must be located and ultimately returned to
their families. Ninety-one percent of all funds raised go directly to the
missions. The Marauders have 30 additional missions fully researched and ready
to execute with the objective of locating a minimum of 500 American
MIAs over the next 3 years).
Of all branches of the military, the Marines together with members of
the U.S. Navy, both active and retired, are the Marauders'
most steadfast allies.

Leave No Man Behind
|
by authors Bill Bell and Jay Veith
"Leave No Man Behind" is the powerful story of Garnett "Bill" Bell's quest, at great
personal cost, to find and bring home the POWs and MIAs of the Vietnam War. With his
encyclopedic knowledge of the Vietnamese Communists and his fluency in various regional
dialects, he penetrated the system the Communists had created to exploit American POWs for
diplomatic concessions, or their remains and personnal effects for financial rewards.
