Broadcast is 55 minutes long Cold War Segment starts about 19 minutes in.






Our scheduled guests on POW/MIA Radio for Sunday, November 22, 2009 are:

2:00pm Mtn - Mr. Leo Hrdlicka: Leo's brother, Capt. David Hrdlicka, USAF, lost and Missing in Action 44 years ago on May 18, 1965, was on a mission that took him over Laos. He successfully parachuted from his F-105 after being hit by ground fire. David was seen alive afterward and appeared in a Vietnamese newspaper and on a taped recorded broadcast. China claimed him as a prisoner and he appeared in Russia's PRAVDA. Our own intelligence reported him alive in the cave complex near Sam Neua, Laos. Leo has worked extensively for his release, even travelling the Mekong River seeking information on his brother. He remains active in the issue and will offer his comments on current issues today and the best selling book by former congressman Billy Hendon and Beth Stewart, An Enormous Crime: The Definitive Account of American POWs Abandoned in Southeast Asia. Leo has lived much of the history that is presented in the Hendon/Stewart book. For more information, please visit: http://www.enormouscrime.com/ .

3:00pm Mtn - Open Show: The season for giving is upon us; Christmas is only a month away. Are you looking for the perfect gift? A gift that is rewarding to both giver and recipient. Can you imagine a gift that is not put on the shelf and forgotten, not used only once, not returned for color, size or style, not made in China and truly keeps on giving? There are such gifts! Yes, no batteries needed, no assembly required and no need to worry about being politically correct. The only requirements are that the giver provides an enthuisiastic endorsement of the gift and the recipient receives it with an open mind. We will discuss such gifts this hour. Once I get into this discussion, you'll know what I mean and are welcome to offer your suggestions by calling in to join me at 1-877-254-7524.

4:00pm Mtn - News and Views: An hour of the latest POW/MIA and veterans issues. This hour we will be joined by Mr. Sean Eagan, Public Affairs Director for American Cold War Veterans. Sean will discuss recently introduced legislation for the Cold War Service Medal, S.2743.
