  • 88 the Uprising of POW/MIA Wives
    Journal of Leadership Education DOI: 10.12806/V13/I4/C10 Special 2014 The Uprising of POW/MIA Wives: How Determined Women Forced America, Hanoi, and the World to Change Steven L. Smith Wayland Baptist University Abstract In the fall of 1966, a small and informal group of wives whose husbands were classified as Prisoner of War (POW) or Missing in Action (MIA) formed a small and informal group. By December 12, 1969, this group of women had gained such power, influence, and a multitude of disparate followers that twenty-six met with President and Mrs. Pat Nixon at the White House. In part, the POW/MIA story is about a small group of women taking a decisive role to change the United States POW/MIA policy, accentuate the plight of the prisoners, and demand humane treatment by Hanoi—all in a national and global arena. Introduction The war in Vietnam was tremendously divisive not only among American citizens, but also among other democratic and communists nations. Demonstrations against the war, both peaceful and violent, were part of the American fabric in the late 1960s. Military personnel were subject to public scorn and viewed by the citizenry with contempt for their service in Vietnam. To use the trite phrase that the war in Vietnam was not a "popular war" fails to convey the seething national hostility and unrest of the era. However, by the late 1960s, the POW/MIA issue had become a national unifying cause that culminated in Operation Homecoming in February- March of 1973. At the time, the United States Department of State was responsible for handling all POW/MIA matters, not the Department of Defense (Davis, 2000; Rochester & Kiley, 1998).

  • The Sijan Sentinel
    The Sijan Sentinel 3RD QUARTER, ISSUE 1 SEPTEMBER 2016 WELCOME TO SIJAN CHAPTER 125! President: Don Kidd Vice President: Linda Aldrich Treasurer: Barbara Binn Secretary: Kristen Christy PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS TO THE CHAPTER Chapter Members It’s hard to believe we are entering the last quarter for 2016. It has been a busy year, and your Air Force Association has been doing great things. I want to talk about one in particular. A few months ago, Col (Ret) Paul Bailey mentioned the Vietnam Era Service pins being made available through the Department of Defense for service members of any branch of who served anywhere during the period of the Vietnam War. Unlike those serving today and in recent past in wars in the Middle East, many who wore our Nation’s uniforms during the Vietnam era were met with disdain and words of hate. For too many years, our Nation failed to recognize their heroism, their sacrifice and their selflessness. At Paul’s urging, we conducted a General Membership meeting for the express purpose of handing out Vietnam Era Service pins to deserving members and to bring our membership together for the first time in many years. For those of you who missed it, you missed a wonderful evening. But the lesson is an enduring one. We offer our thanks far too seldom. So let me take advantage of my position and the opportunity to write this article to express mine to so many. To those of you who served in and during the Vietnam War, thank you. To those of you who served in Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operations Iraqi Freedom, Korea, the Cold War, World War II and any of the dozens of operations that have occurred around the globe over the past several decades, thank you.

This matter does not present the Commission with complex or disputed factual issues. There is no dispute that the ADF conducted a military voter program ( rlMVP1r), which encouraged registration and voter turnout among military personnel and dependents. There is no dispute that ADF solicited and received financial support from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (IINRSC1')for this program. The only issue for the Commission is whether it will accept the General Counsel's novel analysis that regulations proposed for the Commission's review should be applied to past conduct even before their adoption by the Cornmission, and that the Commission should extend its regulatory authority over political speech/political activities of a non-profit, non-partisan organization which makes no contribution ox expenditure on behalf of any federal candidate.

  • BIMJ February 2012
    Supplementary Text BLACKBURN & PENGIRAN TENGAH. Brunei Int Med J. 2012; 8 (1):60-61 (i) General History Laos has a long history of being conquered and ruled by several ancient empires (Khmer, Burmese and Siam). It was a mon- archy for most of the last 700 years, ruled from the ancient capital of Luang Prabang, which is now on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Laos (along with Vietnam and Cambodia forming Indochina) came under French rule at the end of the 19 th century. The French established their capital in Viang Chan, re-spelling it Vientiane. The French system of Vietnam-centric administration with rural taxation led to resentment and small-scale rebel- lions. During, and following World War II a nationalist movement began, divided between three groups: pro-monarchy, pro democracy and communist. The last was known as the Pathet Lao (Land of Lao) and had links with the Indochinese Commu- nist party founded by Ho Chi Minh in 1930. The Cold War between the Communist Soviet Union and the West- ern democracies also played out in Indochina. Initially France tried to retain its colonies but as the Indochina Wars (predominantly between Vietnam and France but involving Laos) demoralised and defeated the French, the United States of America (USA) entered the fray. The USA supplied millions of dollars of aid to Laos, partly with the aim of preventing the spread of Communism from China through Southeast Asia. A second Laos interim government (formed in 1958) fell after only 8 months after the USA stopped aid because the Pathet Lao were included in the government.

I’m your host Jay Williams, and this program is coming to you from the Pritzker Military Museum and Library in downtown Chicago. It’s sponsored by the US Naval Institute. This program and hundreds more are available on demand at PritzkerMilitary.org. The enormous scale of land operations in the Vietnam War and the focus of the news media on land campaigns often leads us to forget that America’s direct military involvement in Vietnam was significantly escalated by the result of a conflict at sea. In August 1964 evidence suggested that North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked two US Navy destroyers, the USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy, patrolling near their coast in the Gulf of Tonkin. This prompted the United States to immediately rapidly ramp up its involvement on the Vietnamese Peninsula. Throughout the Vietnam War the US Navy played a major role in important combat missions, including air operations, coastal surveillance, surface gun fire support, and logistics. With a total of 1.8 million sailors serving in Southeast Asia during the conflict, the navy provided the US Military with key strategic support to conduct extensive campaigns both from the air and on land by controlling the seas, by direct attack, and by standing as a constant reminder of American military might.

  • Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base Was
    Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base and the Vietnam War “PACAF’s Pride” By Phil Carroll Takhli RTAFB, 355th SPS K-9, Charlie 2M45, 1970 Nakhon Phanom RTAFB, 56th SPS K-9, Tina X768, 1971 APO SF 96273 Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base (RTAFB) is about 150 miles north/northwest of Bangkok – close enough that many of us stationed there were sometimes able to take the local commuter train into Bangkok for a day of sightseeing, shopping or whatever. Leaving first thing in the morning, we could spend a pretty full day and catch an evening train back to arrive before the front gate was closed for the night. Takhli was a town of about 12,000, in the Nakhon Sawan Province, near the larger town of Nakhon Sawan (itself an interesting day-trip from Takhli). Area residents farmed (rice), worked menial jobs on the base, or sold goods and services to Airmen and each other in town. Although Thailand was by and large a much more hospitable environment for base defense forces than Vietnam, Major General Dewitt Searles, Deputy Commander of the 7/13th Air Force wrote: “...a threat to our Thailand bases existed from a communist- inspired insurgency. There were areas in full control of the insurgents, and Royal Thai government forces were not in full control of the situation.” “There have never been more lucrative targets in all of Southeast Asia than are our Thai bases right now. Our greatest threat is trained sapper and mortar teams infiltrated from Cambodia and Laos, who, with local contacts, can be met, housed, and fed without detection until such time as they are ready to strike.” Operation Sawbuck Takhli really was originally a Thai air base, but it was used by the U.S.
