Welcome
The Coalition of Families promotes the fullest possible accounting for American servicemen who remain missing in action from the Korean and Cold Wars. Our members are all families of these men. Together, we not only assist each other in our individual searches for information, but we help to shape the nature and extent of the U.S. Government's effort to account for our missing servicemen.
Our goal is to ensure that we are providing all the tools we can to aid in the search for missing servicemen. We will continue evolving this website to bring the best possible experience.
Take care, and remember that you are not alone in this journey. We are right there with you.

Christmas Tree Honoring Korean & Cold War POW/MIA
2020
2020
The Strawbery Banke museum of historic New England homes, in Portsmouth, NH, holds a special holiday event … Candlelight Stroll Under the Stars. Nonprofit organizations sponsor and decorate a tree.
This year, Donna Knox (father is MIA) memorialized a tree in the Coalition’s name. Photos of missing men were hung among the decorations … representative of all the men. A POW/MIA flag served at the top. This was a holiday way to broaden awareness of the accounting mission … while honor all the missing.

All the best, as always … especially so over the holidays!

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day (Sept 18 ), prisoners of war and those still missing in action were honored in ceremonies across the country … literally … from the Pentagon in Washington, DC, to Boring, Oregon, to Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Coalition was represented by family members at two of the events. Robin Davitt (Cpl. William Douglas, uncle, POW/MIA North Korea) attended the Pentagon Ceremony and Sharyn Selby (Lt. Leland Richey, father, MIA North Korea) was roadside in Boring, Oregon, as U.S. Highway 26 was officially designated “POW/MIA Memorial Highway”!
