Surnames: EVANS Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.evans/9621/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am searching for the families of five (5) soldiers who was killed in the Korea War. They all have the surname Evans. Soldier: JOHN LEE EVANS Born: March 5, 1928, Caucasian When he entered service he gave Cleveland Heights, OH as his home of record. Soldier; JOSEPH KENNETH EVANS Born; October 18, 1921, Caucasian When he entered service he gave Bibb County, GA as his home of record. Soldier; WALLIS JEFFERSON EVANS Born; September 4, 1932, Caucasian When he entered service he gave Gaston County, NC as his home of record. Soldier; WARD EVANS, JR. Born; July 8, 1930, Black When he entered service he gave Harris County, TX as his home of record. Soldier; WILLIAM FRANCIS EVANS Born: Jan. 14, 1933, Caucasian When he entered service he gave Hudson County, NJ as his home of record. When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency. I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.
