S. partidpation in the Vietnam war has almost ended and our American prisoners are returning home, I think it is an appropriate time to express our ap preciation to the POW's and to all others who fought in this difficult and unpopular war On behalf of myself and the citizens of the 11th Congressional District oi North Carolina, I am today placing in the Congressional Record the following statement: "Over the past eight years, all of us have been touched by the hopes and hardships of tht families of the American Prisoners of War. We are proud of the courage witli which they have endured countless hardships and disappointments. Now we rejoice with them at the freedom finally won for their husbands, sons, brothers, and fathers. "The sacrifices these prisoners have been called upon to make have been made with deep respect foi America. We should tx grateful as a nation for their service and total dedication to God, family and country. We know that these men will be facing many problems in thi future months and years ahead in adjusting back t normal life. We must be read not just to welcome then back, but to lend a helping hand at many points along the way as they return to the lam! they love and for which the sacrificed so much. "I have written or called each of them to let them knov that I and my office will be available to them for an assistance that can b provided in resolving problems. "As we welcome back and pay tribute to our Prisoners of War who have served their country under difficult cir cumstances, let us not forget the more than 1300 men still missing in Southeast Asia and the continued bravery of their families; nor the more than 48,000 Americans who made the supreme sacrifice; nor tht . 200 ,000 others who have been wounded, many of whom are in our Veterans Ad ministration Hospitals, nor the many other men who served with honor in Vietnam. By the sacrifice of these men in a strange land in behalf of an alien people, they have helped strengthen the position of the free world. "I have been pleased to note that some of the counties and towns in my District are celebrating the return of our Prisoners of War and are planning future programs paying tribute to those who are wounded and missing in action and those who were killed in action. "In some parts of this nation it is not fashionable these days to honor our fighting men. Some people have been so much against the unpopular war in Vietnam that they show no appreciation to the men who served there. The very word "patriot" has almost disappeared from respectable use. It has somehow become sophisticated and liberal and altogether coot to dwell in cessantly upon the tragic mistakes mat are a part of any war, but thank uoo, i oeuere that the people of Western North Carolina know what the word "patriotism" means and realise mat this country Is truly a great country." 61 Boators ' Killed In 1972 Sixty-one people were killed while boating on North - Carolina waters last year.
