They were talking about NVA, not Viet Cong, I believe

According to the chart on that site, the 1.1 million includes VC and NVA. Your link you posted is from the same site and I agree, it is a very informative site.

Keep up the good work. It's noble, albeit lonely, work you are doing.

I think the key to cracking this 'case' is to get foreign governments, specifically, Vietnam, Russia and China, to have more 'accidents' and to obtain documents from them that were never intended for general consumption. This has already happened more than once and it has provided a lot of the evidence for live POWs. Apparently, the files were mis-classified and foreigners got their hands on them. But I, for one, have no desire to step foot in these countries, so I'll have to get others to do the legwork. I'm working on something now but I don't want to say too much yet. Congressman Bob Smith has also been very helpful (and has tipped the hand of U.S. policy on this matter). But there's only so much you'll get out of Washington.

Thanks for the encouragement and, if you are one of the vets, thank you for your service and sacrifice to the Republic.
