Help Us Account for our Missing

According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), more than 82,600 Americans are still listed as missing from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and other conflicts. Many are simply not recoverable. Massive explosions, faulty data and remains lost at sea are realities of war. But, it is crucial that veterans of all wars share with DPAA any intelligence they may have regarding the whereabouts of missing comrades. Whether it is a wartime diary entry or a solid firsthand account, such information can be extremely useful to investigators. Family members should also submit DNA to help make identification easier.
