Negotiate the retrieval of the bodies of eight US Service members that died during Operation Eagle Claw in Iran in 1980.

On April 25 1980 eight U.S. servicemen died during a mission called Operation Eagle Claw in Iran attempting to rescue US Embassy hostages. The eight casualties were five U.S.A.F. airmen and three U.S. Marines: Airmen Major Richard L. Bakke, Major Harold L Lewis Jr., TSgt Joel C. Mayo, Major Lyn D. McIntosh, and Captain Charles T. McMillan. They were very experienced airmen, all of them between 28 and 35 years of age. The three Marine casualties were Sgt John D. Harvey, Cpl George N. Holmes Jr., and SSgt Dewey L Johnson. A memorial honoring the eight Americans who lost their lives during the rescue attempt is located in the Arlington National Cemetery. But their bodies were never recovered. It has been 33 years, it is about time to bring them home. POW/MIA you are not forgotten.
