"Prisoner's Wife Presses Letter to Hanoi Drive", Casper Star-Tribune, June 6, 1970

Johanna Gostas, whose husband was captured by the Viet Cong, urged Wyoming veterans and citizens to start a letter-writing campaign demanding humane treatment for American prisoners of war. She asked people to pressure North Vietnam to follow the Geneva Convention by releasing names of prisoners, allowing mail, and caring for the sick and wounded. The campaign encouraged individuals to write letters, sign petitions, and send telegrams, stressing that this was a humanitarian issue, not a political one.
