My Letter
Dear Sir,
What is being done to determine the fate of Lt. Gary B. Scull, MACV, who was last seen guarding
the Khe Gio Bridge south of Khe Sahn near the Laos border on March 12, 1970? This is
an American soldier who has remained on the MIA list for 30 years. Doesn't his devotion to his
country award him the privilege and honor of being buried in his own homeland soil if he is in
fact deceased? Should, by any miracle, Scull remain alive, should he be left behind in a foreign
country knowing his country abandoned him? Do his family and loved ones not deserve to know the
fate of their son, brother, friend, and loved one? Nor be allowed to put closure to this after
so many years? Please advise me of any action that is being taken by you or any other
elected or appointed official to determine his fate. In the event there is nothing being done,
please explain why not, and tell me how you personally plan to correct this and prevent it from
ever happening again.
Sincerely,
my signature
I also included the following quote I saw on a graphic:
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how
justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier
wars were treated and appreciated by their nation."
--George Washington
