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

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

FC3c Victor P. Tumlinson<\/strong>, US Navy, assigned to the crew of the USS Oklahoma<\/i>, was lost at Pearl Harbor, HI, on 7 December 1941. He was accounted for on 4 March 2019.<\/p>\n

S1c Oris V. Brandt<\/strong>, US Navy, assigned to the crew of the USS Oklahoma<\/i>, was lost at Pearl Harbor, HI, on 7 December 1941. He was accounted for on 1 March 2019.<\/p>\n

S1c Ernest R. West<\/strong>, US Navy, assigned to the crew of the USS Oklahoma<\/i>, was lost at Pearl Harbor, HI, on 7 December 1941. He was accounted for on 1 March 2019.<\/p>\n

SGT Cread E. Shuey<\/strong>, US Army, assigned to G Battery, 60th Coast Artillery Regiment, was lost the Philippines on 27 September 1942. He was accounted for on 4 March 2019.<\/p>\n

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

None<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Southeast Asia<\/strong><\/u> <\/p>\n

None<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

You\u2019re home now. Rest easy. <\/p>\n

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

Over 72,000 US personnel remain unaccounted for from World War II; over 7,600 US personnel remain unaccounted for from the Korean War; over 1,500 remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia (SEA); 126 remain unaccounted for from the Cold War; 5 remain unaccounted for from the Gulf Wars; and 1 individual remains unaccounted for from Operation Eldorado Canyon. 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. One of those FAQs describes who can and cannot submit DNA samples useful in identifying recovered remains. The chart giving the answer can be viewed here<\/em><\/a>. The text associated with the chart is short and is found in one of the 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. 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. Or you may help to identify remains to be recovered in the future.<\/p>\n

Everybody deserves a proper burial. That\u2019s especially true for those who gave their all while serving this nation.<\/p>\n
