Thanks for posting.
Thanks for helping with the link Ric.
I learned something i did not previously know.
According to the Defense Department, more than 72,000 of the 400,000 Americans killed during World War II have not yet been accounted for, but the recovered remains of about 26,000 service members have been assessed as possibly recoverable.
The number of US military dying during WWII.
RIP

Very interesting story. This DNA science is amazing.
I knew there were MIA but not 72,000.
Imagine these cases all they the parents he was on the ship before the battle started; but, that was the last time anyone saw him.
