DPAA has identified and accounted for the following formerly-missing US soldier.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 CPL Dudley L. Evans<\/strong>, G Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, US Army, was lost on 15 February 1951 in South Korea. He was accounted for on 29 January 2016.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re no longer missing, elder brother-in-arms. Our apologies that your return took so long.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re home now.\u00a0 Rest in peace.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 73,000 US personnel remain unaccounted for from World War II; over 7,800 US personnel remain unaccounted for from the Korean War; and over 1,600 remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia (SEA).\u00a0 Comparison of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from recovered remains against mtDNA from a matrilineal descendant can assist in making a positive ID for unidentified remains that have already been recovered, or which may be recovered in the future.<\/p>\n

DPAA’s web site now has what appears to be a decent “Contact Us” page<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 The page doesn’t have instructions concerning who can and cannot submit a mtDNA sample or how to submit one, but the POCs listed there may be able to refer you to someone who can answer that question – or may be able to answer the question themselves.\u00a0 If you think you might possibly qualify, please contact one of those POCs for further information.<\/p>\n

If your family lost someone in one of these conflicts and you qualify to submit a mtDNA sample, please arrange to submit one.\u00a0 By doing that you just might help identify the remains of a US service member who’s been repatriated but not yet been identified – as well as a relative of yours, however distant.\u00a0 Or you may help to identify remains to be recovered in the future.<\/p>\n

Everybody deserves a proper burial.\u00a0 That\u2019s especially true for those who gave their all while serving this nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
