On Friday Oct. 21 the Department of Defense announced that the United States and the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) agreed to resume the search and recovery
of remains of American service members missing in action from the Korean War.
U.S. teams will work in two sections of North Korea. Approximately 60 miles north of
Poyongyang in Unsan County. The other area is in the Chosin/Jangjin Reservoir, where it is
believed more than 2,000 Marines and soldiers are buried.
The agreement includes logistics and matters to help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the
teams working in the DPRK.
The search is expected to begin next year as a humanitarian effort, and will be the first since
2005, when relations and increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula forced the American
teams to halt their search.
The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command had teams conducting searches in the country
for ten years before the halt. It is believed that the remains of 225 servicemen have been
recovered since 1996.
More than 7,900 Americans are missing from the Korean War, more than 5,500 are believed
to have been lost in North Korea.
Our country must continue to search with every means available to locate and repatriate the
remains of every MIA. We must demand the full accounting of all those who are MIA.
The families of those who are still missing deserve nothing less than our full, complete and
concentrated effort. Those who are missing must be found to bring closure to the loved ones
of those who never came home.

National POW/MIA Recognition Day
The third Friday of each September, this year Sept. 16th is designated as National POW/MIA
Recognition Day. A somber day to recognize and remember those who never came home.
It is also a day of hope for the return of those still missing in action.
We all know the POW/MIA Flag, a black flag with the words "POW/MIA" across the top
with a circular picture of a mans bowed head shown in silhouette, shown in the background is
a guard tower and barbed wire; and underneath the words "You Are Not Forgotten."
The flag was designed by Newt Heisley, a pilot in WWII. He never applied for a patent or
copyright and did not receive any royalties from his heart stirring creation.
National POW/MIA Recognition Day was established on July 18th 1979, and for several years
was held on various days of the year. In 1986 The National League of Families suggested that
the third Friday in September be used, since that date was not associated with any war, or at the
same time as any organizations' annual meeting or convention.
The following is a list of the POW/MIA from wars in which Americans placed their lives on the line
War of the Revolution POW-18,182 MIA-1,426
War of 1812 POW-20,000 MIA-695
Mexican War POW-46 MIA-238
Indian Wars (US) POW-339 MIA-11
Indian Wars (Native
American) POW-2,958 MIA-40

Vietnam War POW-766 MIA-1,719
USS Pueblo POW-83
Grenada MIA-4
USS Stark MIA-1
Persian Gulf War POW-29 MIA-21
Somalia POW-6 MIA-2
Yugoslavia POW-3
I am sorry I do not have the figures for Iraq and Afghanistan at this time. If anyone has information
please supply it.
***Please notice that the Cold War lists still show POW as Classified. How strange that the government
does not release this information. And still DOD says it was "not a war" and refuses to issue
a Cold War Medal. The only war that does not have a medal to honor those who served. ***
This wrong must be corrected, and this should be the year, the 20th anniversary of the end of
the Cold War. A war that we WON.
At the present time there is a Resolution in the House: H.Res 111 to Establish a Select Committee
on POW/MIA Affairs with 99 cosponsors. Please contact your Representative ask them to
cosponsor H.RES. 111 and vote for passage when it reaches the House Floor.
Our country must demand a full and complete accounting from the countries involved on ALL
those who are still missing in action.
We must never forget! Bring them home and give closure to the families and loved ones still
waiting for information on their loved ones.

Airman Missing In Action In Vietnam Identified
The remains of a missing Vietnam Airman have been identified and will be returned to his
family for a full military honors burial. The Department of Defense POW/MIA Personnel
Office (DPMO) made the announcement today.
On June 21, 1967 Air Force Captain Darrell J. Spinier of Browns Valley, Minn. was piloting his
A-1E Skyraider, attacking targets along the Xekong River in Laos.
Villagers said they heard an explosion just before his aircraft crashed. Another A-1E was in the
vicinity and for two hours searched for his fellow pilot, but never saw a sign of Spinier.
A team of US and Laos People's Democratic Republic, which was led by the Joint POW/MIA
Accounting Command (JPAC), in 1993 interviewed villages who had seen the crash. Those
questioned said that Capt. Spinier's body was visible on the riverbank and thought that the
body had probably been washed away when the rainy season started.
The survey team searched the area and found wreckage that appeared to be from Spinier's
aircraft, but could not find any remains.
The U.S. government in 1995 declared after review of Spinier's case that his remains were
unrecoverable. This was based on witness statements and all presented evidence.
In 1998 and again in 2003 search teams viewed the area and came to the same conclusion, that
Capt. Spinier's remains had indeed been washed away by the river and could not be located.
But JPAC did a complete excavation of the site in 2001. They discovered aircraft wreckage,
human remains, crew-related equipment and some personal effects.
Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command scientists used dental x-rays and other forensic identification
tools along with circumstantial evidence to identify the remains as belonging to Spinier.
With the identify confirmed, there are now 1,689 service members still missing and unacounted
for from the Vietnam War.
Once again I say our country must do everything possible to have a full and complete accounting
and the return of all remains of those MIA's from all wars.
The House of Representatives again has a bill H.Res.111 Establishing a Select Committee
on POW and MIA Affairs. This bill with 72 cosponsors was referred to the House Committee
on Rules on February 28, 2011, with no further action taken as of today.
Please contact your Congressman or Congresswoman, ask them to please cosponsor H.Res.111
and push for a vote to the full House floor; and to demand that this bill be passed immediately.
These POW/MIA's should no longer be just a number, we must repatriate them, bring them
home for proper burial and bring about closure for their families.
JPAC is working hard to find them, now we must not only ask; but demand that the foreign
countries involved must do everything possible to assist in finding and returning our missing.

Remains Of 11 U.S. Army Air Force MIA's Identified, Returned
Published: Feb. 10, 2011 at 10:14 PM
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The remains of 11 U.S. servicemen missing in action in the Pacific Theater during World War II have been identified, the Defense Department said Thursday.
The remains are being returned to their families for burial with full military honors, the Pentagon said in a news release.
Army Air Forces Technical Sgt. Charles A. Bode, 23, Baltimore, will be buried Friday in Arlington National Cemetery.
A group burial for Bode and his 10 comrades will be March 24 at Arlington National Cemetery. The other crew members whose remains have been recovered are those of: 1st Lt. Richard T. Heuss, 23, Berkley, Mich.; 2nd Lt. Robert A. Miller, 22, Memphis, Tenn.; 2nd Lt. Edward R. French, 23, Erie, Pa.; 2nd Lt. Robert R. Streckenbach Jr., 21, Green Bay, Wis.; Tech. Sgt. Lucian I. Oliver Jr., 23, Memphis, Tenn.; Staff Sgt. Ivan O. Kirkpatrick, 36, Whittier, Calif.; Staff Sgt. William K. Musgrave, 24, Hutsonville, Ill.; Staff Sgt. James T. Moran, 21, Sloatsburg, N.Y.; Staff Sgt. James B. Moore, 21, Woburn, Mass.; and Staff Sgt. Roy Surabian, 24, Medford, Mass.
The Defense Department said in a release that on Nov. 20, 1943, the 11 B-24D Liberator crew members took off from Jackson Airfield, Port Moresby, New Guinea, on an over-water mission near the northern coast of the country. During the mission, their only radio transmission indicated they were 20 miles northwest of Port Moresby, but they did not make it back to their base. Subsequent searches failed to produce any evidence of the crew or their aircraft.
In 1984, the government of Papua New Guinea notified U.S. officials of a World War II crash site in a ravine in Morobe province. A subsequent search located B-24 aircraft wreckage and human remains but time constraints and the threat of landslides prevented their recovery.
During a site visit in 2004, local villagers turned over human remains they had previously removed from the areas. Those remains were used to identify Bode.
There are still more than 74,000 Americans listed as missing in action from the war.
The remains are being returned to their families for burial with full military honors, the Pentagon said in a news release.

Teams to Search Cambodia for Vietnam War MIAs
I have for a long time been a staunch supporter of the POW/MIA problems. It is a tragedy that
so many are still Missing. Their families and loved ones need and deserve closure.
Everyone please contact your elected officials and demand a full and complete accounting of all
MIAs from the countries involved. We must bring them home. They are not forgotten.
Teams to Search Cambodia for Vietnam War MIAs
From a Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command News Release
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2011 - Two archeological teams from the U.S. Joint Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command are scheduled to arrive in Cambodia soon to search for Americans unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War, and physicians and nurses from military commands in Hawaii will accompany them to participate in a health engagement mission.
As part of the recovery portion of this dual-purpose deployment, more than 40 recovery team members will excavate a burial site and an underwater aircraft crash site in search of four missing Americans in Cambodia's Kampong Cham and Kracheh provinces.
The deployment, expected to last about 40 days, marks the command's 44th joint field activity in Cambodia, officials said.
Recovery teams search for human remains, life-support items and other material evidence that may further the identification of Americans missing from past conflicts.
In addition to recovery efforts, U.S. and Cambodian personnel will participate in a medical engagement outreach event, treating 4,000 to 8,000 people in rural and highly underserved communities, officials said. The specialized 12-member team of experts in various medical specialties will provide basic health assistance, laboratory services and optometry examinations.
The U.S. medical team members are from Tripler Army Medical Center, the 18th Medical Command and the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command. U.S. and Cambodian physicians will reinforce medical capabilities by participating in an information exchange, benefitting both countries educationally and socio-culturally, officials added.
"[Tripler] is sending physician residents from OB/GYN and family medicine to conduct expert exchanges with local physicians, and will be invited to work alongside the Khmer physicians and treat their patients," said Army Capt. Drew Webb, a Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command physician assistant.
This will be the first time a Tripler resident program has deployed to a foreign country on a humanitarian outreach mission, Webb added.
"The big takeaway for all of this is that the [Tripler] residents will get training and experience in such a unique environment," he said.
Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command is a jointly manned U.S. Pacific Command organization of more than 400 military and civilian specialists that has investigated and recovered missing Americans since the 1970s, officials said, noting that 1,702 Americans still are listed as missing in action from the Vietnam War.

North Korea Has More Remains Of U.S. Soldiers
North Korea has said they have more remains of U.S. soldiers to be returned.
The remains including bones, effects and a single dog tag were discovered recently Maj. Gen.
Pak Rim Su told Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico.
President of Korean War Veterans Association Bill MacSwain said he found the timing interesting that
it would come now. "I'm afraid it's more political than humanitarian, they use our dead to further
their gains," he said. "But we need to bring them home."
More than 54,000 died in the war, and some 8,000 are still missing.
Once again I ask everyone to contact their elected officials and ask them to demand a full and accurate
accounting; and the return of all remains of the MIA from all wars. We should never forget
the sacrifice of these brave men and women.
It is a blot on our fine military, our veterans, our nation that so many are still unaccounted for. Bring
them home and give closure to the families of those who never returned.
