Currently there are nearly 82,000 Americans still officially listed as Missing In Action from World War II onwards. The Veterans of Foreign Wars will not rest on the mission of accounting for as many of these heroes as possible. The VFW remains to this day the only veterans service organization to return to southeast Asia every year since 1991, Russia since 2004, and China for nearly a decade. So although the number of still unaccounted for is staggering, the Veterans of Foreign Wars will continue to keep boots on the ground to bring them home.
