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

From World War II<\/u><\/p>\n

\u2022 Seaman 1st Class Murry R. Cargile<\/strong>, U.S. Navy, assigned to the crew of the USS Oklahoma<\/em>, was lost on 7 December 1941 at Pearl Harbor.\u00a0 He was accounted for on 12 August 2016.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fireman 1st Class Jim H. Johnston<\/strong>, U.S. Navy, assigned to the crew of the USS Oklahoma<\/em>, was lost on 7 December 1941 at Pearl Harbor.\u00a0 He was accounted for on 12 August 2016.<\/p>\n

From Korea<\/u><\/p>\n

\u2022 PVT Virgil B. Adkins<\/strong>, B Company, 1st Battalion, 65th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, US Army, was lost on 17 July 1953 in North Korea.\u00a0 He was accounted for on 10 August 2016.<\/p>\n

Welcome back, elder brothers-in-arms.\u00a0 Our apologies that your return took so long.<\/p>\n

Rest in peace.\u00a0 You\u2019re home now.<\/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 DNA from recovered remains against DNA from some (but not all) blood relatives 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

On their web site’s “Contact Us<\/em><\/a>” page, DPAA now has FAQs.\u00a0 The answer to one of those FAQs describes who can and cannot submit DNA samples useful in identifying recovered remains.\u00a0 The chart giving the answer can be viewed here<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 The text associated with the chart is short and can be viewed in DPAA’s FAQs.<\/p>\n

If your family lost someone in one of these conflicts and you qualify to submit a DNA sample, please arrange to submit one.\u00a0 By doing that you just might help identify the remains of a US service member who\u2019s been repatriated but not yet been identified \u2013 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":"
