You Are Not Forgotten - A Family’s Quest for Truth and the Founding of the National League of Families of POW/MIA

By Evelyn Grubb and Carol Jose • Foreword by Henry Kissinger
• WINNER - 2009 Indie Book Award for History

A true story of enduring love and tragic loss, set in a deep and moving time of war and extreme socio-political upheaval. An inspiring account of individuals, citizens, celebrities and politicians, whose lives cross, each demanding accounting for, and humane treatment of, our POWs and MIAs. They never give up...together they create history.
“You Are Not Forgotten" relates in amazing detail the history of the National League of Families, a story that has needed telling. I’m grateful that now it has been told.”
—Phyllis Galanti, Chairman, National League of Families of American POW/MIA, 1972/1973
“Newk” Grubb, an American fighter pilot is shot down on a reconnaissance mission early in the war, photographed apparently in good shape when captured by the North Vietnamese, then vanishing into silence. Evie, Newk’s wife and mother of their four young children, along with other remarkable POW/MIA wives and mothers, display the true backbone of this country: the triumph of American spirit and perseverance over incredible adversity. Together they take on the world, stand up to every level of military command from Sergeant to Admiral, the American political establishment, foreign leaders and diplomats, and even the U.N. The sheer heart-wrenching determination of Evie Grubb and the wives and families of POW MIA's leads to dramatic changes in the treatment of military families by the authorities, the media, and the American public. “You Are Not Forgotten” is told by co-author Carol Jose through Evie’s eyes, from her heart.
“...would make John F. Kennedy proud — this is a real life “profile in courage” by a remarkable woman who never gave up even though her nation did.”
—Don Shepperd, Maj. Gen., USAF(ret), CNN Military Analyst

“What a moving testimony to the POW/MIA families. I found myself overcome with emotion, still today the Vietnam War evokes such strong feelings. Please know that reading “You Are Not Forgotten” touched me deeply and renewed my support for the POW/MIA issue still relevant today.”
