I ran across this on the message board and thought I'd share it here. Like Mr. Davis, I believe this to be a very noble cause also. Anyone have any recollections of the Ruiz name while researching? Anyone have easy access to the city directory for the few years prior to 1951? "I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Jefferson County KY, Louisville as his home of record. Soldier: Eugene Louis Ruiz Born: June 28, 1923, Caucasian Date of loss: KIA July 2, 1951, His remains were never recovered. 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. There are 35 families in Kentucky that have not been located. There is one family from *** County that has 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 this family. 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 this family."
