Just got back from the National Genealogy Society Conference in the States in Milwaukee. One of the speakers there was Megan Smolenyak talking about the Korean War Repatriation Project. Please, if any of you know anyone who served in the Korean War, please have them check the www.koreanwar.org site. They have over 8000 soldiers who were missing in action during the war and are beginning to get some of the remains back from North Korea. They're trying to literally "bring the boys back home" by identifying them and getting their remains buried with family members. Sometimes they don't have cases they are currently working on identifying, sometimes they do...but it is important that people be aware of what is happening. This is sponsored by the government, assisted by professional genealogists who are trying to locate relatives of these soldiers to establish a positive ID (possible now through mtDNA). Some are thrilled to have their "boys" come home, some could care less, but if we could at least get id's on them, so they can be brought home with the honor they deserve. If you knew people who served, or people who were lost in Korea, do register at the site. What you know might help identify somebody at some future point, even if you're not related to them. And spread the word.
