"When some of America’s military men are captured or go missing during the Vietnam War, a small group of military wives become their champions. Never had families taken on diplomatic roles during wartime, nor had the fate of our POWs and missing men been a nationwide concern. In cinematic detail, authors Taylor Baldwin Kiland and Judy Silverstein Gray plunge you directly into the political maneuvering the women navigated, onto the international stage they shared with world leaders, and through the landmark legacy they created."

"​The true story of the women who waged an epic home front battle to ensure our nation leaves no man behind."

The daughter of Capt. Ing Kiland, the Newport News ops officer in 1972, Taylor Kiland's New book: Unwavering, is now available for purchase on Amazon. Taylor Kiland also wrote a feature article about the turret explosion that ran in Proceedings magazine in October 2012:
