via Bev.... Joan of Vanburen County mailing list has this to say: Korean War MIA/POW'S Very good, I would think, for families that have this situation. Brenda << A few days ago, a note was received requesting help from the County Co-ordinators finding families of MIA/POW's of the Korean War. The Army has some unidentified remains of service members from North Korea. Since DNA data was unknown in the 1950s there was no profile on these personnel. The Army can now conduct DNA on the remains, but they have an incomplete database of DNA from close family members with which to compare. Nationwide, DNA Samples are requested for over 6000 servicemen lost in the war. If you are a family member and your loved one is flagged for a DNA sample, please considerparticipating in the DNA Program. If someone you knew is listed and you know how to contact their family - Please do so! There are four listings for Van Buren County - only one needs DNA - I talked with his 89 year old mother this evening and she was very interested! Database of all Michigan MIA/POW's http://www.koreanwar.org/html/korean_war_databases.html Read more about DNA testing http://home.earthlink.net/~janc1947/ This sounds like a very worthwhile project!
