Theme); written, produced and arranged by Fred Travalena and Sandy Shire; featuring The United States Air Force Symphony and the Singing Sergeants, Col. Arnald D. Gabriel, director; conducted by Sandy Shire. White picture sleeve headed "A Song for Veteran's Day – Never Asked – a thank you and a remembrance…", vocal by Fred Travalena and the United States Air Force Symphony, with a U.S. flag and the POW*MIA emblem captioned "'Lest we forget". The sleeve quotes a statement dated July 10, 1982, signed Ronald Reagan: "I assure you that actions to investigate live sighting reports receive and will continue to receive necessary priority and resources, based on the assumption that at least some Americans are still held captive."
