POW/MIA STAMP MYSTERY SOLVED

Last week I referenced a blog entry by David Kranz of Numismatic
News asking about a POW*MIA stamp he'd encountered on U.S. paper
money.  Curious, I did a web search and emailed Sjana Bauer, Founder
and President of POW/MIA Freedom Fighters.  He writes: "The logo itself
is a public domain graphic.  The wording itself says, 'You are not
Forgotten"' or 'Let Us Not Forget', or something similar to that
will be found on the graphic.

"Many POW/MIA organizations and members and the general public
continue to use this logo and fly the POW/MIA Flag, which itself is
flown as mandated by Federal law on certain days throughout the year,
in memory of those men and women that were left behind and are waiting
to return home for burial.

"For the families of these men and women, they are simply waiting
for the government to give the answers as to what happened to their
loved ones.  No one expects unrecoverable remains to be returned, but
there are questions yet to be answered and it is time for the families
and the public to be told the truth.  It is time for the men and women
that can come home, to come home.  It is time for the remains that
are available to be returned to American soil, to be returned and
buried here.

"Why is the logo showing up on American money?  To make sure the
American people don't forget!"
