DPMO recently announced the identification of another US MIA from Southeast Asia<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LT Dennis W. Peterson, ENS Donald P. Frye, and Aviation Antisubmarine Warfare Technicians William B. Jackson and Donald P. McGrane<\/strong>, USN, \u00a0were lost on 19 July 196, when their SH-3A Sea King helicopter was shot down in Ha Nam Province, North Vietnam. \u00a0Peterson\u2019s remains were definitively identified and he was declared accounted for on March 30, 2012. Frye, Jackson and McGrane were accounted for in 1982. They were buried with full military honors today in a group ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n

Rest in peace, my elder brother-in-arms; welcome home.\u00a0 All honor and respect you, and to your fallen comrades resting beside you.<\/p>\n

Over 73,600 US personnel remain unaccounted for from World War II; over 7,900 US personnel remain unaccounted for from the Korean War; and over 1,640 \u00a0remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia.\u00a0 If you are a relative of one of the individuals listed here (World War II \u2013 critical need)<\/a>, <\/strong>listed here (Korea)<\/a>, <\/strong>or listed here (Southeast Asia)<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 please consider reading this link<\/a><\/strong> to see if you qualify to submit a mtDNA sample.<\/p>\n

If you qualify to submit a mtDNA sample, please submit one.\u00a0 \u00a0By submitting a mtDNA sample, you may be able to help identify US remains that have been recovered and repatriated but not yet positively identified.<\/p>\n

Everybody deserves a proper burial.\u00a0 That\u2019s especially true for those who gave their all in the service of this nation.<\/p>\n

(Edited to add:\u00a0 today’s Navy Times<\/span> has an excellent article on the internment at Arlington<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s worth a read.\u00a0 I’m giving this article a temporary bump to highlight the Navy Times<\/span> link.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
