Greetings -
In honor of Memorial Day, we are sharing a story at the heart of Project Recover: the impact finding and bringing our MIAs home has on families, communities, and our country.
Often we think bringing our MIAs home helps bring closure to their families and our country.
It does that and more.
"People talk about closure, but it was more like an awakening, not a closure. It opened up more than it closed." (Tommy Doyle, son of SSgt. Jimmie Doyle)
A new beginning.
- MIA service members whose remains or aircraft are found 75 years later bring families and communities together.
- Emotions are stirred. People identify with love, hope, gratitude, and are emboldened to step forward.
- Family and community bonds are strengthened.
- Community stands together with a common purpose.
- The bereaved are comforted by knowing.
- The next generation understands their past and teaches their young.
- People are motivated to stand for something bigger than themselves.
When MIAs return home, they remind us of our common humanity. When we gather for a common purpose of love, gratitude, hope, we transcend differences.
It is the MIA’s lasting message and, perhaps, their final mission.
It is our privilege to share our MIAs' stories from World War II and their impact on their families, communities, and our country today.
Thank you for your support for Project Recover.
