 dying for freedom

 

POW/MIA/bnr

government acronyms

learned at 15 years of age.

 

Prisoner of War

Missing In Action

Body Not Recovered.

 

Why did you change it?

no longer mia, but kia

Killed In Action.

 

Board of Inquiry?

Sgt. what’s his name?

Bodies unrecoverable?

 

Forty Four years later

He is still MIA

Missing in Action.

 

Dying for freedom

happens.

Being forgotten doesn’t.

Very sad indeed. After all this time no record of his whereabouts. He is a hero but I wish he were home where his loved ones are.
Peace and Love

There are many in that category, the MIA's. North Korea just released on not long ago. He had been there fifty some odd years.

Black Ash & Green (Sessions with my Therapist) by Pearl Barley C M Donaldson

She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
