Read Their Names Bring Them Home MIA Korean War

A post by me on Twitter June 16, 2019:

@SecPompeo @POTUS @USArmy @USNavy @USMC @usairforce @USCG "So US policy isn't to immediately recover soldiers whatever the cost, but the US does have an obligation to recover everyone eventually." 7800+ MIIA Korean War READ THEIR NAMES BRING THEM HOME

Is "no soldier left behind" an official policy of the US armed forces?

Does the US PROMISE that no soldier will be left behind? When people enlist, and offer to die for all of rest, do they expect that PROMISE to be kept? A Pledge of Allegiance is a PROMISE to always be true-To each of the people or agencies above, where do you stand on your PROMISE that no soldier will be left behind? I have recently faced a huge moral dilemma about using anything Made in China for Veterans quilts-China backs NK, NK refuses to return 7800+ soldiers. Sewing with American products is almost impossible-so I am using my grandmother's Singer-

I can buy hand sewing needles Made in America, can use vintage toy machines- @SINGERCO mfgs in China now, so I thought they were out completely.

Singer never promised to stay in the USA, and what supercedes the name Singer on my machine is my PROMISE to my grandmother. To never give her machine away. Simple. This machine stitched my mother's baby clothes. My grandmother was given it when the seamstress died, and loved it dearly. I PROMISED her I would take care of it - so @SecPompeo and @POTUS and others - WHAT DOES YOUR WORD MEAN?

Thank you Alberta Fickett Skinner, wife of Chester T. Fickett, @USArmy , Battle of the Bulge Purple Heart Recipient, for knowing that my word meant, I Promise. Forever.

My Video- Sewing American

My American-made Gateway sewing machine's stitches are not consistent enough to use on a Quilts For Veterans quilt, and the Dexter handheld throat space is too short to add the stars to the quilt blocks.

My beige Singer model 20 with the broken handle supercedes @SINGERCO moving to China because I once saved my brother's life with this machine (details withheld). My brother is a @usairforce Veteran-he wouldn't have been, without my Singer model 20.

I now have a hand-sewing needle on the way from Pam Turner, the only woman in America who makes hand sewing needles, a Promise and my grandmother's Singer 99-13 now a handcrank, and a beige Singer model 20 that needs a new handle. I can do anything.

You see, our words, our deeds, what we give to American Veterans, what we do everyday to thank them, it really does either matter or it doesn't. I think it matters.
