Two More Return Home

DMPO recently announced the recovery of 2 US MIAs from World War II.

SGTs Jerome E. Kiger and Charles R. Marshall, US Army Air Forces, were lost on 21 July 1944 near Drobling, Germany. They were accounted for on 10 Apr 2013 and 9 April 2013. SGT Kigler will be buried with full military honors 21 July 2013 in Mannington, West Virginia.  SGT Marshall will be buried this spring in Allen, Kentucky.

Welcome home, my elder brother-in-arms.  May you now rest in peace.

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  remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia.  If you are a relative of one of the individuals listed here (World War II – critical need), listed here (Korea), or listed here (Southeast Asia) – please consider reading this link to see if you qualify to submit a mtDNA sample.

If you qualify to submit a mtDNA sample, please submit one.   By submitting a mtDNA sample, you may be able to help identify US remains that have been recovered and repatriated but not yet positively identified.

Everybody deserves a proper burial.  That’s especially true for those who gave their all in the service of this nation.
