June 23, 2025
Today, the League is releasing two documents: one covers the current Status of the League; the other document is a report, written by League Intelligence Advisor Dr. Jay Veith, called Vietnam’s Knowledgeability Cooperation: A Follow-up Report on the League Assessment on “Achieving the Fullest Possible Accounting.” Both can be found on the League website, and by clicking the hyperlinks within this post. We encourage all to read and share these documents and to advocate for continued and increased Vietnam War Accounting efforts. -
Due to circumstances beyond the League’s control, our Board of Directors voted unanimously in favor of the following MOTION:
“Whereas, Article V, Section 1, ANNUAL MEETING, of the League’s bylaws prescribes “an annual meeting of the voting members shall be held at such time and place as shall be designated by the board of directors…”, the board of directors has determined that such a meeting cannot be facilitated within the one-year period due to extraordinary logistical challenges and conflicting circumstances outside of its control. Therefore, the board will schedule an annual meeting at a time and place more convenient to its voting members while continuing to communicate essential business needs to the voting members.”
Anyone who had made arrangements to arrive in Omaha before DPAA’s Annual Government Briefings (AGB) on June 26th and 27th , please use this notice to cancel the extra Hilton DoubleTree reservations, as well as flights. We continue to stay focused on the fullest possible accounting of all those missing from the Vietnam war. While other organizations may be pivoting in search of a longer-term strategy, our mission is very clear! Rest assured that you have our continued commitment and resolve, and you will be hearing from us very soon regarding the 2025 Annual Meeting.
