Found this great reference to Dan today on a Rolling Thunder blog.
The POW/MIA Memorial Flag Act (S-1226)
This bill was signed into legislation by President George W. Bush in part due to Rolling Thunder®, Inc.’s lobbying efforts. The main force behind this bill was Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell and Congressman Dan Burton. The POW/MIA flag will fly below the American Flag any day the American flag is flown in Washington, DC at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Korean Memorial and the WWII memorial.
Rolling Thunder®, Inc. continues to lobby for enhanced legislation for finding and returning American Prisoners of War, and for legislation to increase military funding to provide our troops with the proper combat protection gear, better compensation, and to provide our troops and veterans with better healthcare and disability benefits.
