Prisoners of War and Missing in Action American soldiers who fought in Vietnam for the American Army are the POW's and MIA's.
During the Vietnamese conflict, hundreds of American soldiers were held captive in North Vietnam. To many Americans who were captive, Vietnamese soldiers took them to “hotels”. These hotels were prison camps in the jungle of Vietnam. The prisoners were held in urban jungle areas; when the U.S. decided to send troops into Son Toy, it was a failed raid. In America, citizens lobbied for the treatment of the P.O.W./M.I.A cause. One of the famous slogans, “Only the United States government has forgotten” is seen on banners, flags, and badges.
