Wisconsin's 37: The Lives of Those Missing in Action in the Vietnam War

by Erin Miller, John B. Sharpless

 The signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 signified the end of the Vietnam War. American personnel returned home and the 591 American prisoners held captive in North Vietnam were released. Still, 2,646 individuals did not come home.
Thirty-seven of those missing in action were from Wisconsin. Their names appear on the largest object—a motorcycle (now part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Collection)—ever left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Using the recollections of the soldiers’ families, friends and fellow servicemen, the author tells the story of each man’s life.

Excellent book!

This is a very good read. The book does an excellent job of having us remember those that paid the ultimate price for the rest of us. The research done provides a personal look into each person, a common theme was how nice they all were. The families and military peers provided key insights and memories. Gone but never forgotten!!!

This book is so important. It humanizes a controversial war and gives insight into 37 heroes who deserve to be remembered. The first thing I found myself doing in each chapter was comparing the missing date and the birth date - most of these men were younger than I am now when they were declared MIA. I didn’t know about these men before reading this book, but their sacrifices cannot and will not be forgotten. Definitely recommend for any Wisconsinite!
