God Bless you Brother. You are home now and your war is over. Welcome Home SGT Stafford L. Morris. Slow hand salute.
Over 73,000 US personnel remain unaccounted for from World War II; over 7,800 US personnel remain unaccounted for from the Korean War; and over 1,600 remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia (SEA). Comparison of DNA from recovered remains against DNA from some (but not all) blood relatives can assist in making a positive ID for unidentified remains that have already been recovered, or which may be recovered in the future.
On their web site’s “Contact Us” page, DPAA now has FAQs. The answer to one of those FAQs describes who can and cannot submit DNA samples useful in identifying recovered remains. The chart giving the answer can be viewed here. The text associated with the chart is short and can be viewed in DPAA’s FAQs.
If your family lost someone in one of these conflicts and you qualify to submit a DNA sample, please arrange to submit one. By doing that you just might help identify the remains of a US service member who’s been repatriated but not yet been identified – as well as a relative of yours, however distant. Or you may help to identify remains to be recovered in the future.
Everybody deserves a proper burial. That’s especially true for those who gave their all while serving this nation.

1998 - Korean War Remains Repatriation Ceremony - Panmunjom
Over 8000 US Troops are still missing in action in Korea! This is just couple of the ceremonies to welcome the remains of those found home. Our MIA's cannot ...
In my years I spent in Korea (13 total) as a soldier and as a civilian contractor, I seen alot especially up on the DMZ! But one of the most honored items I did was attend several ceremonies of the repatriation of Korean War remains!
It is a quiet and somber ceremony! Below is a video from 2 of them I attend in 1998.
