Brent, I think you should check that out for the site.

i agree

i donno if i can handle 24 hours of no mustangevo, but it would be worth it

[WhiteStang99]

I don't know if most of you guys know, but I am HUGE about the POW/MIA cause. This pic is from my room:




it's ultimately up to Brent. But there is a second option which calls for a 90 second blackout. I think it will do this for each user whenever they sign on. I hope you at LEAST do the 90 sec one Brent. I could understand lost members, etc if you go the whole 24 hours.

[Brent]

You know I am going to do atleast the 90 second one

[WhiteStang99]

ok, good.

[Brent]

Going to have to edit out the write your congressman crap though

[WhiteStang99]

well whatever. I just think it's a good and worthwhile gesture.

Not to Brent, but a lot of people have no idea what our soldiers (and even civilians) have gone through when POWs or MIAs....

[Brent]

It is a good idea I just don't think the write to your congressman line is needed

[WhiteStang99]

I know what you mean. It IS your site.

I think you understand what it means, but I can see where some people wouldn't.

In case you don't, or someone else doesn't, by "tell them you want our heroes home where they belong" they mean don't forget about our POWs and MIAs. I'm 99% sure they aren't referring to Iraq or Afghanistan, or anything political for that matter.

For all of you who dont know about vietnam POWs, My farther grew up with and was personal friends with Jeremiah A. Denton who was the pow that let the US know he was being tortured by the Cong using morse code witth eye blinks. His lectures are really a eye opener as to what most of our enemies do to American POW's. POW's and MIA's should never be forgotten.

I remember the pilot Michael S. Speicher lost during the Gulf war and they got to a prision in Iraq after the end of major conflict and they found etchings on the wall that appear to be from the pilot lost 11 years earlier.

We can never forget!!!
