My apologies for the delay in this article. A couple of months ago, the organization which formerly announced the identification of US MIAs \u2013 the Defense POW\/Missing Personnel Office, or DPMO \u2013 was assimilated into the Defense POW\/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). It\u2019s taken me a while to learn my way around the new agency’s website.<\/p>\n
