AR: Trevor Drown, Independent Candidate for US Senate to Speak at Memorial Day Demonstration

From a Drown campaign press release, via email:

Trevor Drown will be speaking  at Rolling Thunder(R), Inc.'s 23rd Annual Memorial Day Demonstration, May 28-30, 2010, in Washington, DC.

There are more than 90,000 Americans still listed as Missing in Action. Some of these are POWs believed to still be alive.  There are still many remains of Americans which have not been accounted for or have not been returned to American control. Of these, 19 Vietnam Veterans from the State of Arkansas are still listed as MIA. The number is even higher from World War II, including Trevor's great uncle.

From Trevor: "It is an honor to be able to address the American Patriots who will be attending this event. The concept of "Leave No Man Behind" is interwoven into the fabric of our American Military and heritage. What message do we send to future Americans if we have a forgotten generation?"
