Mission POW MIA carried out a military custom for Captain John W. Consolvo Jr, USMC at his crash site.

A "roll call" is often taken during funeral services of military members who are present. When a name and rank is called out, the appropriate response is "Here!" or "Present!". After the third attempt of calling the name and rank, and receiving no answer...we acknowledge that the service member is no longer with us physically.

Taps was sounded, family was present, looking at the hill where Captain Consolvo came to rest, 8700 miles from Virginia...and a salute was rendered.

We will never leave a fallen comrade behind.

Mission POW MIA made it possible to honor a promise made over forty years ago to the mother of a missing USMC pilot.

Captain John W. Consolvo, Jr. known as Jack went missing on 07 May 1972. He was hit by ground fire during a bombing mission. He held his plane together long enough for his RIO to eject. Then, Captain Consolvo was lost. The family has waited 54 years for answers.

We were able to speak with a resident that found the crash site when he was a teenager. One of the items he found at the site was a flight helmet, which he described in detail to us. Unfortunately, the helmet has been lost over time.

The local authorities said they would take us to the location of the site however we could not get to the exact spot for safety reasons because the area is an active quarry. Unless this site is revisited, it is in danger of being gone forever in a couple of years.

We were able to visit the site and pay homage to Jack. We learned about his crash site, what was found, what was salvaged by locals and so much more.

The family received answers to questions that plagued them for over five decades.

It was our honor to be there beside Jack's nephew and namesake, John Higgins.

A promise was kept, made by a 17 year old kid, to go to Vietnam and make it to Jack's site.

We did it Martha!

Mission POW MIA paid respects to fallen US Marine Corporal Eddie Wierzba. Eddie was killed by hostile rifle fire on February 5, 1968 in Quang Tri, just five days before he was to return back home.

Arn Manella, one of our US Vietnam Veterans, was best friends with Eddie. They enlisted together from Chicago and both went to Vietnam. They had an opportunity to get together for R&R shortly before Eddie was killed in action.

The landowner graciously allowed us to visit the exact spot, verified by an after action report. We held a small remembrance ceremony and lit incense.

Arn later completed his college degree, was commissioned as an officer and retired from the Marine Corps as a major after a long career serving around the world.

Arn has never forgotten his best friend and fellow Marine. Each February 5th you can find Arn at the Vietnam Memorial with a can of brasso, cleaning the brass USMC plaque at the base of the flagpole in Eddie's honor.

A park is named in Eddie's honor in his hometown.
