    3. Forwarded at Mr. Davis' request: Mr. Fitzgerald, Thank you for considering assisting in the very noble cause. I need the name, address, relation to soldier and phone number. I will have to proper Casualty Office contact the family and mail them a kit. These soldiers gave the county listed as their Home Of Record when they entered service. Below is a statement that I use in posting that explains the process. 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 140 families from Texas that 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 (77 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.
