Disgraceful use of POW/MIA Emblem
Please forward this far and wide. The following was sent to Zazzle.com
I received this E-mail on 6/19/2007 from a Soldier who is on his way back to Iraq
after already serving two tours....please take note of the second paragraph...
Subject: more POW/MIA issues

Sir,
I read the story about the "skin" knock-off of the POW/MIA t-shirt while I was looking to buy a new t-shirt for myself. I found the below site that sells another knock-off of
the POW/MIA design. Apparently you were quite effective at getting the last one stopped. Would you take a look at this and
see if you can do the same? I'm not really even sure what it means, I just know that it's a rip-off of the original.
I've been to Iraq twice and am going back again. In the
chow hall at Balad Air Base, Iraq, they have a POW/MIA table set up in vigil for SSG Matt Maupin. It is a very nice tribute.
Thank you for your time.
Master Sergeant Anthony Johnston

Your Previous reply is not satisfactory..."we allow our members to create
and publish their own designs as long as they follow our appropriate use guidelines."
If using our national symbol for Prisoners of War & Missing
in Action, in a disrespectful manner, that is flown at every Post Office and State and Federal building is considered
"appropriate" to you then we will see if a boycott of Zazzle.com will be "appropriate to us."
I will await your reply to this e-mail...if I do not receive a satisfactory
response there will be an Internet boycott of Zazzle.com by 10's of thousands Active Military and Veterans.... Do not take this lightly... this is not a
threat it is a promise....a promise that has been made to all of those who are now POW/MIA's ...we do not take this lightly...if
you think this is idle banter please look at the following URLS.
