I have adopted Capt. Smith through Operation Just Cause. He was from my home state of Arkansas. He is listed as Killed In Action/Body Not Recovered. There are still many of our POW's/MIA's who have not been recovered, and realistically, may never be. We should never forget though what these brave soldiers have done for all Americans. They gave all. Please remember those who were once forgotten.
