A Letter To My Senators
I would like to know what is being done to determine the fate of Petty Officer Third Class Albert M. Fransen, Jr. - US Navy, who was last seen On July 2, 1969, he was onboard a swift boat (PCF-87) which was conducting harassment and interdiction fire about 50 miles south of Qui Nhon, South Vietnam, when the boat was hit by an 81mm mortar round.? Navy information provides no further details of the boat or the rest of the crew. It only states that Fransen could not be found. He was listed Killed in Action, Body Not Recovered (KIA/BNR). No remains were ever found although there was an intensive search of the area later on, and no one has seen him since. There is no evidence that he was killed. Please advise me of any action that is being taken by you or any other elected appointed official to determine his fate. In the event there is nothing being done, please explain why not, and tell me how you personally plan to correct this and prevent it from ever happening again." This is not understandable by any means to leave our men and women who fought for all of us, to just leave them behind and leave them forgotten by the government. Because I can assure you that there are thousands of people who have not forgotten them nor will we ever. Debbie If you would like to help with this cause please click the image below for more info.
