Honoring Fallen Soldiers: Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Strives to Identify Missing Service Members

On Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifices of those who have given their lives for our country. Many families of fallen soldiers who went missing in action have been unable to give their loved ones a proper goodbye. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) is working to change that. The DPAA has identified three soldiers who were previously unaccounted for after World War II, Vietnam, and Korea. These include 2nd Lt. Fred Brewer, Army Cpl. Luther Story, and Air Force Col. Ernest De Soto. Through historical references, advanced technologies, and collaboration with international partners, the DPAA is making progress in identifying and returning missing soldiers to their families.
