Finding America’s missing heroes doesn’t happen by accident.
This time around it will take 12 trained volunteers moving across the world, crossing rivers, navigating dense jungles, and traveling across three countries in Southeast Asia.
It takes flights, trucks, boats, food, safe places to sleep, fuel, and local guides who open doors and translate critical witness accounts.
This is mission logistics. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what makes the search possible.
Logistics are the largest cost of any mission we undertake, but without them, there is no recovery, no answers for families, and no way to keep America’s promise: No one left behind.
We need $33,000 to cover mission logistics for our upcoming Southeast Asia recovery operation.
Leads are waiting, but the window is closing. Overgrowth and monsoons will soon make sites inaccessible for another year.
Your gift helps us move now — when it matters most.
They’re going back — not to fight, but to find.
In just weeks, our recovery team will deploy to the jungles of
Vietnam and Laos to search crash sites where Americans vanished more
than 50 years ago.
These are not paid contractors or tourists.
They’re veterans — men and women returning to the same terrain they
once fought on — carrying new tools, not weapons, and the same
unbreakable promise:
No one left behind.
⏳ A Race Against Time
Every year, the jungle takes back a little more.
Witnesses age.
Artifacts disappear under soil and growth. Leads fade forever.
We have a narrow window before monsoon rains close access to key
sites.
If we don’t go now, some of these heroes may never be found.
Your gift powers this mission before it’s too late.
🧭 The Mission
Our team will travel deep into Vietnam and Laos, conducting drone and
LiDAR surveys over suspected crash sites, interviewing witnesses, and
documenting evidence for recovery.
We’ll work alongside local
partners to verify remains, map debris fields, and mark locations for excavation.
Every site reached is a step closer to bringing someone’s father, brother, or son home.
🎖️ Who We Are
Tours of Duty is a veteran-led nonprofit dedicated to the search and
recovery of America’s missing servicemembers.
We combine
veteran experience, forensic
science, and cutting-edge technology to
continue the mission our nation left unfinished.
Some of our team members served in Vietnam; others are family of the
missing who have searched for decades.
Together, we go back — not
for politics, not for profit, but for honor.
