On September 13, I was a guest at a luncheon at the US Institute for Peace (USIP) kicking off the US-Vietnam technical talks relating to the mission of accounting of US missing from the Vietnam War. This was the first time these talks were held in the United States, and they came on the heels of the president's visit to Vietnam and the establishment of a US-VN strategic partnership. I was reminded of my last meeting with Mr. Kelly McKeague, director of the Defense Personnel Accounting Agency (DPAA) when he was still Lt. Gen. McKeague, director of DPAA's predecessor, the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) which I led from 2006 to 2009 to do one of the General and the Ambassador podcasts. Listen to that episode below:
A discussion of ideas, thoughts, philosophies and life in general.
