Benedict first denied making this Claim when confronted with he fact that he is not listed on the Official Department Of Defense List of People Missing South East Asia, PMSEA. When the Newspaper insisted that they had quoted him correctly, and three School Board Members also stated that Benedict did in fact present himself as a Vietnam POW, he took the position that he had misspoke. He now states that he was a POW of the Korean War. ======================================================= |
quote July 2000 Mr. William O. Benedict is a member of the Vietnam Veterans' Association Chapter #437 in Oshkosh WI, and its past President. In this position he often addresses School Classes and other Community venues. You can rest assured, that Mr. Benedict did not get up on the morning of June 7, 2000 and suddenly decide to lie about his POW status. Mr. Benedict has been telling this lie for years.

remember lost, captured comrades Monday, September 17, 2007 BY Robert Wang <http://www.cantonrep.com/static/contactDisplay.php?contactLast=Wang&contactFirst=Robert> REPOSITORY STAFF WRITER ALLIANCE On Sunday afternoon, millions of people were thinking about football. At Freedom Square, about 100 people were thinking about America’s missing soldiers. Local veterans groups held their 17th annual observance Sunday to remember the members of America’s armed forces who’ve gone missing in action or were prisoners of war. The ceremonies were done in conjunction with National POW/MIA Recognition Day, which is Friday. “A country that forgets its warriors will itself be forgotten,” said Tony Gates, 59, of Alliance, who served with the Army in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967. “There’s still a few thousand guys missing from that war. They’re somewhere.” “We feel (this observance) is important because we have a war going on now,” said Rick Cade, 60, of Alliance, a Vietnam Army veteran who helped organize the event. “We still have missing from all wars, and we feel we deserve to have an accounting of them.” MOTORCYCLE PARADE The event kicked off at 2 p.m. when about 36 people — many of them veterans in vests and blue jeans — got on motorcycles at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3747 in Canton. Escorted by four Stark County sheriff’s deputies on motorcycles, they drove to Alliance in a procession the veterans called a “parade of lights.” One driver held a cell phone out the car window, apparently to snap a picture. At the State Street exit on Route 62, a man holding a baby girl watched as the veterans blew past him. One of the riders, Frank Kemp, 60, of Pike Township, felt interest in the motorcycle procession from bystanders seemed to be less than in previous years. “It’s kind of dwindling,” he noted sadly. “People are forgetting, and I hate to see that. ... people are busy or whatever.” Pat Powell, the president of the Sharon Lane Memorial Chapter 199 Vietnam Veterans of America, said that the observance had to be held five days before the actual National POW/MIA Recognition Day because a motorcycling event next weekend would have hurt the turnout. EMPTY CHAIRS, EMPTY TABLE With a cool breeze and some clouds, the ceremony began at 3 p.m. at Freedom Square, which is on Main Street and Freedom Avenue. Nearby, someone had set up a table with four empty chairs, symbolizing the soldiers who never came home. “When one American is not worth the effort to be found, we as Americans have lost,” said Sherman Brick, the president of the Alliance Veterans Council, as he gave his opening remarks. He then read a poem he said was written by Dutch Beyer, 64, of Canton, when he was held prisoner in Laos for 16 days during the Vietnam War. “This flag stands for love: my love for my family, my love for my friends. I did not forsake it when I was beaten, when I was starved, when I was killed... under God I was captured. Under God I was saved. Under God I have no fear. ...” ... |

Center. Born in Akron, Ohio, he came here in 1994 from Myrtle Beach,

===================================================
"The claim that Michael Blondheim was a Vietnam
era PW has now reached the obit pages of
'Leatherneck' (see the April '07 issue)."
I do not suscribe to your fine magazine, but if the
statement is correct, I can tell you that no man by the name
of Michael Blondheim was ever with any one of
us, the real surviving 661 POWs of the Vietnam War, nor is he known
by Department of Defense in this regard.
