Task & Purpose | 'We constantly have them on our minds' - A little-known agency searches all over for the remains of MIA service members
The little-known Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency conducts missions as part of its charge to find the remains of approximately 34,000 missing Americans who might be recoverable from World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. Another 41,000 are presumed missing or lost at sea.
"It's amazing how many Americans don't know and/or realize that (the Defense Department) is still searching for missing Americans across the globe from past conflicts dating back to World War II," said Lt. Col. Ken Hoffman, public affairs officer for the accounting agency. |
