Our first and primary mandate is:
to do everything within our powers
to bring our POW/MIA Brothers home and
to insist that our Government demands accountability
for each and every one of those patriots.
Dago Chapter proudly honors Veterans of all eras
but has begun to focus on planning events to honor the
22 men from San Diego County, California
whose remains have not been repatriated from the Vietnam War.
In November 2006,
remains of USAF Colonel Charles J. Scharf
were finally identified and the first of the “San Diego 22”
was buried at Arlington National Cemetery on November 30, 2006
with full military honors.
Welcome Home, Colonel Scharf.
Sir, you have Not Been Forgotten…
