We want to inform veterans that The Defense
POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) is upgrading
its efforts to recover the remains of soldiers still missing
from WWII. While we have always worked the WWII
issue, we recently created a new WWII Division to
increase the attention given to this period. As part of
this effort, we would like to speak with any WWII vets
who may have information that could shed light on the
loss/death of a fellow serviceman whose remains might
not have been recovered. Veterans who have such
information are encouraged to contact DPMO with any
knowledge that could lead to the recovery of that
soldiers remains. Also, relatives or friends who may
have such information (from conversations with WWII
vets, personal records, diaries, or other documents they
may have) are also asked to call or email.
We also have Divisions which would encourage vets to
contact us with relevant information related to
unaccounted-for servicemen from other wars (Vietnam,
Korea, etc.)
We would appreciate it if you could pass this on to your
membership. Thank you very much for your help.
