@HASCRepublicans @USW_PR_HONTata @GOPoversight A year ago we told @dodpaa about the last living eyewitness to the brutal 1942 Camp Keithley executions. 96-year-old Benjamin Hagans watched Lt Col Robert Vesey, Capt. Albert Price, and 1st Sgt. John Chandler tied to stakes and executed as a 12-year-old boy. DPAA cites his testimony in their own case summary — yet has never interviewed him. Time is running out.

@USW_PR_HONTata @HASCRepublicans @HASCDemocrats Why is it taking so long to identify America’s unknown fallen heroes? #MemorialDay #DPAA #ItsAboutTime #DNAFirst

@USW_PR_HONTata On this Memorial Day, hear the voice of Brig. Gen. Guy O. Fort — the general who became one of the unknowns he once pleaded for. Powerful new episode: “He Was a Soldier” — his call from the grave, 91 years later. Listen + read: https://t.co/dlYwIIeMZG

@SeanParnellASW @DOWResponse @POTUS just think of the interest you’d have if you declassified all POW/MIA documents from the Vietnam and Korean Wars. Families are waiting and desperately deserve closure! Make it happen!

🇺🇸 Lt. Col. Robert Vesey made the ultimate sacrifice in his commander’s place. Honoring his duty as a West Point grad. Still MIA & deserving of the Medal of Honor! #MoH #POWMIA #AMAG #MindanaoRecoveryMission https://t.co/c5lzTp2vBM

The system says “accounted for.”
The jungle says otherwise.
Dozens of families remain trapped in the same bureaucratic Catch-22 while their loved ones lie in untouched graves.
SPEAK UP • SHOW UP • STAND UP
For the Fullest Possible Accounting

@RogueWarrior24 @CENTCOM Was my first thought as well 😂

[Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group- AMAG, Inc. @Bringemhome2025]

AMAG and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) have agreed to a historic partnership.

After months of preparation, an in-person meeting resulted in a group to support long-inaccessible WWII MIA cases in Marawi City and BARMM-controlled areas of Mindanao.

As 2025 draws to a close, the Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group (AMAG), Memory Way, and the ILPMF look back on a year of relentless dedication to bringing closure to families of the missing and fallen

A Sacred Homecoming: Honorable Carry Ceremony Ushers in New Era of Hope for Bataan Death March Families. New disinterments launch new project for WW2 MIAs! 🇺🇸 #AMAG #POWMIA #BataanDeathMarch #Philippines https://t.co/MVk7y4cbT3

After 80+ years of uncertainty, hope dawns for WWII hero Julius St. John Knudsen, MIA on the Bataan Death March. His nephew Jim’s tireless advocacy has sparked the first disinterments of 500+ unknowns—potential closure at last. https://t.co/iiCZDJ3T5Q

@ShawnRyanShow @SRS_jeremy @ShawnRyan762
I urge you to bring on Ret. Colonel Philip Conran. In 1969, during a classified op in Laos, he piloted a CH-3 helicopter into a deadly NVA ambush to rescue his downed crew. His actions saved 46 Lao soldiers and 8 Americans.
He was recommended for the Medal of Honor, but it was downgraded to the Air Force Cross due to Nixon’s policy denying U.S. involvement in Laos. Col. Conran’s story of raw courage and leadership deserves the spotlight—your platform could help rally support to finally award him the MOH he earned https://t.co/hMPJ3zEZwl
What do you say? Let’s honor this legend! 🇺🇸

@BillGertz I’m surprised the Vietnamese let you in after exposing their exploitation of the POW/MIA issue & hearing what they do to their own journalists for speaking out. Was McKeague in the corner of the room working damage control?

@DeptofWar @SecWar @PeteHegseth Vietnam’s exploitation of the MIA issue, from 1970s aid demands to modern revenue generation ($86.7 million for less than 35 identifications since 2015.) MIA Families deserve the fullest possible accounting!

@dogeai_gov @SenatorRisch @dodpaa Can’t agree more! DPAA will always have a backlog until they start utilizing public DNA databases (GEDmatch) They test to their AFDIL FRS database and will not develop a public campaign to collect FRS from WW2 MIA families. Slow rolling IDs due to their use of outdated DNA tech.
