Bill (HR 2369) Update
Although we still sit at four (4) congressional sponsors for the Bill at this point, the promises of support are mounting. As a matter of fact, even two national veterans groups (thus far) have climbed aboard the wagon, as well as a highly respected former U.S. Senator!
Now add to this the fact that about half of the House and the entire Senate have already been contacted by us on this matter, and the ball is definitely on a forward roll! ?The voices of the many, after all, are heard far clearer than the voice of but a handful!!?
With all of the members of Patriot Files residing in various areas all about the United States, I urge you again to call, e-mail, or write your congressmen and senators to solicit their backing for this fine Bill !!
Unfortunately, far too many of us falsely believe that all of those who perished in Prisoner of War Camps were already awarded the Purple Heart - this is definitely not true!! We can, however, now rectify this (nearly) six and a half-decade-old oversight by backing HR 2369, Honoring Our Fallen Prisoners of War Act. ?These departed brothers, would after all, do no less for you were they able!!!!?
