                Compiled by Homecoming II Project April 1990 with the assistance of one or more of the following:  US Government agency sources, correspondence with POW/MIA families, published sources, interviews.

Capt. John T. West and 1Lt. Ronnie G. Lindstrom were co-pilots of an F4D Phantom which departed as second aircraft in a flight of two from Ubon AB on 02JAN70 on an operational mission over Laos.

As the Aircraft were near the Sepone River in Savannakhet Province, about 10 miles from the border of South Viet Nam, West and Lindstrom’s aircraft was seen to crash.  The flight leader saw the aircraft descend and saw the wreckage on the ground, but observed no parachutes.  No emergency radio beeper signals were heard to indicate that West and Lindstrom safely ejected from the aircraft.

There are many MIAs from WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, Korea...still waiting to be found and brought home. Write the President , Vice President, First Lady and Mrs. Cheney. Contact your congressmen, both House and Senate links provided. Make them aware of this need. Ask for specific answers. Demand to know what is being done to find and bring home our servicemen. And if you receive a "form letter" write again. I have also included an example letter to assist you.  This is a debt owed by each and every one of us, long neglected and overdue. Please mention Ronnie Lindstrom MIA/Presumed Dead from MN in your letter. Let's find them and bring them home.
