CPT MICHAEL SCOTT SPEICHER MISSING 16 YEARS TODAY
Friends Working to Free Scott Speicher ^ | January 17, 2007 | Patriot Kathleen

Posted on 01/17/2007 9:40:30 PM PST by La Enchiladita

This year, as every year on January 17, I remember this was the date that LCDR Michael Scott Speicher disappeared in Iraq. That was in 1991, so it has been 16 years now since his F-16 Hornet went down.

Let us never forget an American hero. He, nor any other POW/MIA, should be left behind.

Many Americans will not forget those who did not return. We move forward to face lifes challanges, but do not forget our fallen and wounded heros.

FYI, since Saddam's hanging, Izzat al-Ibrahim has been declared "head of the Baathist Party." He is the one we believe most likely to know Scott's fate...
