Featured Digital Collection: The G. V. "Sonny" Montgomery Collection
In 1975, Sonny Montgomery asked his colleagues in the U. S. House of Representatives to set up a Select Committee on Americans Missing in Action in Southeast Asia. The nine-member committee was established and Congressman Montgomery was selected as chairman. After a fifteen-month investigation, the majority of the committee concluded that no Americans were still being held alive in Southeast Asia in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. The photographs presented here are visual documentation of the many trips Chairman Montgomery and others made to various parts of Southeast Asia during their work on this controversial issue. The original photographs are part of the G. V. Sonny Montgomery Collection.
