The Silver Star Families of America has once mission:  To Remember, Honor and Assist the wounded, ill, injured and dying of our Armed Forces from all wars.

Mr. Hammar is a Marine Corp vet that suffers the unseen wound of PTS (D), thus making him a part of our mission and our responsibility. 
And we will not leave him behind.

This page is dedicated to the efforts by the SSFOA and others around the Nation to help free Mr. Hammar.

If you wish to help us please hit the donate button on the home page.
If you take any action please let us know so we can add it to this page and not duplicate our efforts.  Send to:  Stevenewton69@hotmail.com

And God bless Mr. Hammar, all of you and the United States



Note: 

The Silver Star Families of America discourages over heated rhetoric that places other people and even our relationship with other countries in danger and does nothing to further the release of Lance Corporal Hammar.  A calm and respectuful approach will result in calm and respecful reactions.

Also note:

We are now in contact with the U.S. Consulate in Matamoros and they assure us that Lance Corporal Hammar is safe.  We are also now able to send books and maybe a few things to Lance Corporal Hammar and other Americans incarcerated.  Donations are now being accepted. 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
11 December, 2012
CLEVER, MO
On Monday evening, the Board of Directors of the Silver Star Families of America, (SSFOA), unanimously passed a resolution calling for the release of Jon Hammar, a Marine veteran who has been jailed in a Mexican prison in Matamoros since August over a misunderstanding regarding the registration of a firearm.
Steve Newton, President and CEO of the SSFOA stated, “The mission of the SSFOA is to remember, honor and assist the wounded, ill and injured of our Armed Forces from all wars.  Hammar suffers from the invisible wound of PTS (D) and that makes him our business.  We do not and will not leave one of our own behind.”
The Board of the SSFOA also authorized the President to use “any and all legal means necessary, including the allocation of funds, to affect the release of Hammar.”
Newton continued by saying, “We have already contacted our embassy in Mexico City, although one of the three e mails was inactive.  They have not responded.  We attempted to contact the Mexican desk at the State Department in Washington but no one answered the phone.  It was our intention to make sure our efforts were not in conflict with any negotiations being carried on between our government and the Mexican government that might further complicate the matter.  But due to their non response and the request for public assistance from the family, we are going ahead with our efforts.”
“We will begin our efforts by trying to reach the newly elected President Enrigue Pena Nieto and by faxing letters to all the Mexican consulates in the United States.  We will also continue to attempt contact with State and the White House.  This issue with Hammar is not acceptable and every effort will be made to secure his release.”

How to write the President of Mexico:

Write the return address in the top left hand corner of your envelope using a pen. Do not use pencil, as pencil marks may become smudged in the mail and render the address illegible. Write your full name first. Underneath your name, write your street address, including street number and apartment or unit number. Underneath your street address, write your city, state, country and zip code.
2
Write the recipient's name, which currently is "President, Enrigue Pena Nieto " in the middle of the envelope.

3
Write "Residencia Oficial de Los Pinos" directly underneath the President's name.
4
Write "Distrito Federal, Mexico" underneath "Residencia Oficial de Los Pinos."
5
Apply the proper postage in the top right hand corner of the envelope. Consult your post office for the postage required to mail your envelope to Mexico.
