Country: | As Paul Lorence's son, I've got to say thanks for the support, guys.
After so long we're hoping the Libyans will be more forthcoming with information and aid us in our search for the truth. Now, almost 21 years on and with a new US embassy in Tripoli, the wheels of diplomacy shall hopefully turn more freely in the face of public support. | |

Country: | Peter, I want you to know that there are many, many people that never forgot your father, nor forgot he was missing. There are 2 names on my flagpole for the POW flag that hangs on my house 365 days a year for missing airmen. The top name is your father. I remember you when you were just a baby. I was there the day that your mother was presented the flag at the big hangar at RAF Lakenheath and how there were very few dry eyes there that day.
I really hope that one day there are some straight answers about your father. Lord knows it has been long overdue and its indeed sad that 21 years later, we still are wondering. Have you ever spoken with Col. Fzakerly? I believe taht he was most likely the last one to see Major Ribas and your father alive. He can shed more light than the many stories heard over the years as to what happened. That account was published, but has rarely been repeated.
I will send you a PM with some things that I know.

Country:  | I'm suprised not more have signed my Dad has told me it was always the thing that really upset him most in WW2, the US dead were always treated with great reverence and when ever possible returned home and even now he says it is nice to see how important repatriation is still taken,
His mate got dumped in a hole with not even a marker put there.
So lets hope this has some effect and gets Pauls dad back home, its the least he deserves.
