Our troops should never be forgotten, including the ones that are Prisoners Of War or Missing In Action! They need to be found and brought home and H.R. 111 would establish a committee for the specific purpose of accomplishing this goal. But right now it sits in a committee and has been there for almost a year. If it isn't put through before this congressional committee is over it will be taken out of commission and have to be re-introduced during the next congressional committee. Our men and women that are missing or prisoners and their families shouldn't be made to suffer longer than necessary. This bill needs to pass now so this committee can get formed and get busy finding and bringing home the people that have given us the freedoms we have now!
