Some good news from the Korean War….more than two dozen MIAs have been identified by the remains returned by North Korea….
Defense Department officials have identified 25 more missing service members from the cases of remains turned over by North Korean officials last year, a major advance for dozens of families who have waited decades for closure in the deaths of their loved ones.
The identifications were first announced by Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday afternoon and later confirmed by officials at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency during their annual briefing to families of the Korean War, held in Washington.
On Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the news “A promise kept from the agreement between (North Korean) Chairman Kim (Jong Un) and President Donald Trump … to return all of our fallen heroes.”
This excellent news for the families of these fallen heroes….may they now get the closure that they have waited so long to obtain.
This is one of the few positive things to come out of the dealings with Kim and North Korea…..these families deserved to know the fate of their loved ones.

It is always very heartwarming to read of such events. Even after all this time, that will be very important to the surviving family.
Best wishes, Pete.
