If you really want to do something then copy the letter below to President Trump, sign and put your address on it and send. Do you care? You will know if you send YOUR letter or not.

God Bless those that care.


Honorable President Donald J. Trump
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Trump,

Thanks to our recent election, we see our country moving in a better direction.

We respectfully ask that you do what no president has done since WWI and that is to sign an executive order declassifying all documents in government agencies including but not limited to CIA, DIA, NSA NGA, NGO, State Dept., McCain Act, etc. that have any classified information on American Prisoners of War/Missing in action (POW/MIAs). Also, the families should receive any and all information on their loved ones first before releasing to the National Archives and The Library of Congress or any other entity.

Also, during 1991 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIAs there was Closed Door Testimony and some records and information that the Committee could not get. WHY?

Will you order that ALL documents on our POW/MIAs and also on any American that may have classified files on them? We have documents with redactions on POW/MIAs and other Americans that never returned who were in countries during our wars, police actions or where our military was operating in foreign countries. Yes, their parents are dead but many still have wives, children and others who love them.

No one should not return and have classified files that only ask, WHY”.

Please be the man of honor we know you are and, “release the files and tell the truth.”

This one action by you will help “Make America Great Again.”

Thank you so much and may, God bless you and much success in restoring the America we fought for.

Sincerely,

YOUR Signature
Your Address


 Message from President of Northeast Pow Network
 Bob ‘ Doc’ Jones

This is what we have been fighting for, for Capt Ike Camacho, first American to escape Vietnamese Prison Camp and put up for this MOH then.. has received every Medal except this one..WHY? President , Bob Doc Jones “ Battle for MOH or Truth by Network for YEARS or Truth as to why not”!


 
I’m writing in regard to this year’s Freedom Ride and POW/MIA Vigil in Meredith, NH on Thursday June 18th. I would at this time like to apologize for the communication mess up last year because of weather reports we were getting, for those who may remember.

The weather called off or we were getting was, “torrential down pour, thunder and lightning just a few minutes out”. That’s the report I was receiving. I had the responsibility as the President of the Network to call the Ride at that time so as to protect any and all Bikers that may be taking part in a Freedom Ride on behalf of the POW/MIA issue! People did show up in Hesky Park Meredith, for the Vigil although a small number and I also take the Responsibility for that.

This year however, I’m asking those that read this letter Please pass this on. Having worked on the Medal of Honor for Captain Ike Camacho (Please read Bio of Captain Ike Camacho) for years.

I first met Ike at the Christening in Maine in 1997 of the USS Donald Cook, unreturned remains of POW Don Cook from VT. It was said at that time that it would be the only ship in the Navy flying the POW Flag. It was just a few years later speaking with Captain Ike Camacho and realizing he was the “1st POW” to escape from a Vietnamese Prison Camp and started to follow the History. I found he ‘first ‘received a Bronze Star! I couldn’t believe this to be True! Escaping from a POW Camp and a Bronze Star!

Well, from there a second POW escaped and received a Silver Star (Nick Rowe) so, Ike had to be looked at a second time and was updated to Silver Star.  Interesting? Any Questions? Well, I had a ton! Further following and starting to Call DC every chance I had and others, passing the word over the years bringing this to when GW was President Ike was going to receive the DSC.

We in NH, at a June Vigil had the 5th Special Forces Group Present Sir Ike with That DSC until he was back in Texas and met with GW and Presented the DSC by the President. It was Senator Bob Smith that got us permission for us to do that.

Since that time to date, meaning Years! Thanks to Senator Maggie Hassan and especially her Veteran Advocate Justin Tariano we have become closer in fact because to a Retired  Colonel Alan Shumate, he and his team did a deep dive in DC and archives , getting other records necessary that prove the actions of Captain Ike Camacho and the fact that his Camp Commander the night the Hiep-Hoa Camp was overrun by Viet Cong and Ike and other Green Berets were captured. Ike was captured for 18 Months before the escape that he discussed with then Camp Commander Pow Donald Cook!

This Year as a 88 yr old ex Green Beret, Ex POW! Ike Camacho MUST Receive the “Medal of Honor” he was put up for and so well deserved! We People of NH and from around the Country...the Northeast POW/MIA Network!

This is The Year We Have The Numbers that guarantee MSG. Ike Camacho the Medal of Honor!!

Salute!

Doc Jones

“We Stand Together for this issue and Captain Ike Camacho”!!

Who is Capt. Ike Camacho: Escaping the Viet Cong Ike Camacho’s incredible journey from Hiep-Hoa to Minh Thanh.

POW Flag History

Today the black and white POW/MIA Flag, with its silhouette of a bowed head, set against a guard tower and a single strand of barbed wire serves a national symbol and a challenge to a country not to forget. The story of its origin starts over 30 years ago.
