On March 14, 1973, Major James was released from prison camps in Hanoi. Larry E. Martin was one who did not come home.
Through the years, the U.S. has requested information on Capt. Larry E. Martin, as well as others whose fates should be known to the Vietnamese.
They have consistently denied knowledge of them, or worse --ignored the request.
On November 8, 1989, it was announced that remains returned to U.S. control by the Vietnamese had been positively identified as being those of Capt. Larry E. Martin.
His family at last knows that he is dead -- and not one of the hundreds thought to still be alive. For them, peace, mourning, and healing can begin.
