National Missing in America Project sent this to me since I serve as the MIAP Colorado Assistant State Coordinator. As you recall , the MCL at its 2010 National convention passed a resolution endorsing MIAP. Marines need to know so they can accomplish an honorable objective with just a few minutes of time.

Everyone,
We need everyone to email/contact your congressional representatives to cosponsor this new Bill.
Last time we only got 9 co-sponsors and it died without ever getting to the Veterans Committee. Let us contact every representative in every state to jump on board with us.
Please request that the wording in the Bill be changed from "National Cemeteries" to either "National and State Cemeteries" or simply to "VA Cemeteries" to include every cemetery operating under the Department of Veterans Affairs Cemetery guidelines and State guidelines.
