Introduction
Efforts are being made by the United States government to locate the nation's Korean War missing in action.
When remains are discovered in North or South Korea that are believed to be those of an American serviceman, the
remains are sent to the Central Identification Laboratory operated by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC)
in Hawaii. This laboratory is the world's largest forensic anthropology laboratory.
The JPAC website explains the Command's work with regards to Korean War missing in action:
JPAC has five teams dedicated to finding those lost in the Korean War. With more than 8,100 American
servicemen from the Korean War that have not yet been accounted for, the task is daunting. From 1954 to 1990
the U.S. sought, to no avail, to account for Americans missing in North Korea. Then, between 1990-1994, North
Korea unilaterally excavated and returned more than 200 sets of remains to the U.S. However, due to
co-mingling of the remains and other complicating factors, very few have been identified. The recovery
techniques employed by North Korea clearly demonstrated that U.S. government technical expertise through joint
operations is essential to potential identification of remains. JPAC teams are currently conducting remains
recovery operations in the Unsan County and Chosin Reservoir areas of North Korea.
According to the JPAC website, gathering DNA samples from members of the families of the MIA is vital to the
identification process. Also, efforts are being made to locate photographs of the missing in action to
further assist in the identification process.

DNA Testing
JPAC is searching for a special type of DNA from surviving family members. Called "Mitochondrial DNA or
mtDNA," it is inherited only from the mother. According to JPAC, "We use this type of DNA because it is
long-lasting, abundant, and doesn’t change much from generation to generation.... If you are a family
member of an individual who is Missing in Action, we may be able to use a sample of your DNA to help us with our
identification process. However, we do not need a sample from just any family member – we can only use samples
from family members who share the same mtDNA as the missing service member. Mitochondrial DNA is only passed on
through the maternal line." According to JPAC, DNA samples can be taken from brothers, sisters, a sister's
children, and many other relatives. Thus, even the DNA of distant relatives can be compared and often
matched to unidentified remains. JPAC cautions, however, "The downside is that children of a missing male
cannot provide an mtDNA reference sample. The sex of the missing person and the donor are irrelevant. In a
family tree linking the donor to the missing person, every intermediate person linking the donor to the missing
person must be a female." DNA samples are used only for the purpose of identifying military personnel
missing in action and are not released to any agency or organization outside of this scope of interest.
Even if our viewers are not members of the family of a Korean War MIA, KWE visitors can help the family
members of our missing in action to "bring them home" by researching that serviceman's family history to
determine if there are living relatives who might be potential DNA donors. JPAC relies not only on DNA
samples, but also on other evidence that its researchers gather about the missing veteran, such as his last
known location, what was happening on the day and at the place he went missing, testimony from eyewitnesses,
battle reports, etc.
According to a news release from the Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) on December 1,
2006, the remains of eight U.S. servicemen who were missing in action from the Korean War have recently been
identified and returned to their families for burial with full military honors. The eight are:
Master Sgt. Alfred H. Alonzo Sr., of Tampa, Fla.; Sgt. 1st Class Robert C. Bucheit, of Hamilton, Ohio; Sgt.
Francis E. Lindsay, of Esther, Mo.; Cpl. Joseph Gregori, of West Pittston, Pa.; Cpl. Darrell W. Scarbrough, of
Fayetteville, W. Va.; Cpl. Homer L. Sisk, Jr., of Ducor, Calif.; Cpl. Charles E. Sizemore, of Rushville, Ind.;
and Cpl. William E. Wood, of Moorhead, Minn.; all U.S. Army.
Gregori was buried in August; Bucheit was buried in September; Scarbrough, Sisk and Sizemore were buried in
October; Alonzo was buried in November; and at this writing (December 1, 2006), Lindsay and Wood’s burial dates
are being set by their families.
The DPMO news release said that the soldiers were assigned to the U.S. 8th Cavalry Regiment and attached
units (1st Cavalry Division), when their unit came under attack by Chinese forces near Unsan, North Korea on the
night of Nov. 1-2, 1950. During the battle, these eight and nearly 400 others from the 8th Cavalry Regiment were
declared missing or killed in action. In 2000, a joint U.S.-Democratic People’s Republic of Korea team,
led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), interviewed a farmer living in the vicinity of Unsan who
told the team that while doing land reclamation work, he uncovered remains he believed were those of U.S.
soldiers. The team excavated the burial site and uncovered the remains of at least 10 different individuals.
They also recovered other items and identification tags belonging to these eight men. Mitochondrial DNA
was among the forensic methods used in the identification of the remains.

Photographs of MIAs
The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command is seeking photographs of Korean War servicemen who remain Missing in
Action. According to JPAC staff member Bob Maves, "The purpose of the photographs is to do facial
superimposition as another means to support or exclude an identification along with location, time of incident,
personal effects, mtDNA, etc., etc." If any KWE readers have a photograph of their missing in action loved
one, and if that picture especially focuses on the veteran's facial features, you are encouraged to scan the
photograph and send it to the Korean War Educator at
lynnita@koreanwar-educator.org.

DNA Success Stories
JPAC has successfully used DNA testing to recover our nation's Korean War missing in action on several
occasions. To share your DNA success stories, contact the KWE.
Sgt. Harold R. Shreve
In September of 2006, the remains of Sgt. Harold R. Shreve, missing in action in the Korean War since 1950,
were returned to his hometown of Fairfield, Illinois. Harold was then given a proper burial with full
military honors. This page of the Korean War Educator is dedicated to Harold, as well as to his loving
family members who searched for answers--and found them--through DNA testing. Those family members want
other families of Korean War Missing in Action to keep the faith and be aware that they might also find the same
closure found by the Shreve family if only they will participate in our government's DNA testing project.

Jimmie Dorser
Korea MIA comes home
Written by Gordon Dillow, Register columnist
February 14, 2007
It's been more than 56 years since a young American soldier named Jimmie Dorser disappeared in the freezing,
bloody cauldron that was the battle of the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War. But today, finally, Jimmie is
coming home.
Shortly after noon, if all goes according to plan, a commercial flight will land at John Wayne Airport with a
coffin on board. Inside the coffin, at long last released from the hard cold earth of North Korea, will be
Jimmie's skeletal remains, still bearing evidence of a gunshot wound he suffered in that terrible battle so long
ago. His bones will be wrapped in a wool Army blanket, with a fresh uniform draped over him, complete with all
his medals and insignia.
A delegation will greet the coffin on the tarmac and then, with a police escort, Jimmie Dorser will be taken
to a funeral home in Huntington Beach. He will stay there until Saturday morning, when with full military honors
he will be buried at El Toro Memorial Park – a half a world and more than half a century away from where and
when he died in this nation's service.
And for his two sisters, Betty Neilson, 71, and Terri Bommarito, 66, of Huntington Beach, their brother's
homecoming is nothing less than miraculous. "There wasn't a day that I didn't hope this would happen,"
says Terri, who was just 10 years old when her brother was lost. "It really is a miracle."
We can start this story in November 1950, when Army Pfc. Dorser, an 18-year-old infantryman from Springfield,
Mo., assigned to the 31st Regimental Combat Team, was part of a seemingly victorious American army marching
north toward the Yalu River, driving a defeated North Korean army before it. Everybody thought they'd be home by
Christmas. But the American high command didn't know that hundreds of thousands of Red Chinese soldiers
had slipped across the border into North Korea. In overwhelming numbers, and amid sub-zero temperatures, the
Chinese fell upon the American soldiers and Marines near the Chosin Reservoir and elsewhere.
Although it was a strategic defeat for the Americans, U.S. Marines remember the Chosin Reservoir battle as a
proud moment, a time when they "attacked in a different direction" and made a fighting withdrawal with virtually
all of their wounded and most of their dead. Less well-remembered was the Army's 31st RCT – Pfc. Dorser's unit –
which helped defend the Marines' flank until the soldiers were overwhelmed and overrun, with the wounded and
dead often left where they lay. In all, the Army and Marines suffered almost 8,000 dead, wounded and
missing in the battle. Pfc. Dorser was one of them.
His sister, Terri, remembers when her family got the news that Jimmie was missing in action. (His status was
later changed to missing presumed dead.) Her mother, she says, never got over not knowing what had happened to
her boy. Later, after the family had moved to California, she died not knowing.
Skip ahead a half century, to when a North Korean farmer was working in a field near the Chosin Reservoir and
uncovered some bones. He reported it to authorities, and in 2002 members of the Hawaii-based U.S. Joint POW/MIA
Accounting Command were allowed by the North Koreans to excavate the site. Skeletal remains of five Americans
were found and sent to Hawaii for possible identification.
The find wasn't unprecedented. Although they're currently suspended, since 1996 U.S. teams have made a number
of MIA searches inside North Korea, recovering more than 200 sets of remains, and the North Koreans have handed
over about 200 more. Of those, just over 40 have been positively identified.
Meanwhile, Terri Bommarito heard about MIA remains being found in North Korea and contacted the Department of
Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office to see if any of them could be her brother. They asked for a DNA sample
from her, which she sent. Then, just before Thanksgiving, Terri and Betty got the word. Their brother had
been positively identified as one of the five Americans discovered by the North Korean farmer. "I never
really thought they would find him," Betty says. "I just can't get over it."
"It's an amazing story," says Sgt. 1st Class Michael Giangregorio, a "casualty assistance officer" at Los
Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base. Although the exact cause of death can't be determined, Giangregorio
believes the circumstances indicate that Cpl. Dorser – he was officially promoted to corporal after he went
missing – died doing his duty. "It appears his position was overrun and he died still fighting the fight,"
Giangregorio says. "Cpl. Dorser was one of our brothers in arms, and we're going to do all we can to give him
the honor he deserves."
There will be a visitation for Cpl. Dorser Friday from 4-8 p.m. at Advantage Funeral & Cremation Services,
627 Main St., Huntington Beach, and a military burial at El Toro Memorial Park in Lake Forest on Saturday at 11
a.m. Cpl. Dorser's sisters say the public is invited. "We want people to know about this," Betty says.
Of course, there's still a long way to go in resolving the mysteries of the Korean War. The bodies of more
than 8,000 Americans from that war remain missing – and many, perhaps most, may never be found and identified.
But at least for Cpl. Dorser's family there is an ending, a resolution, an answer. Jimmie is coming home.

Harold Davis Lists
I am searching for the family of soldiers who are POW/MIA from the Korea War. When they entered service they
gave the County/City, Illinois as their home of record. When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned
or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that
time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to
return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these
missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located.
When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am
just an old (78 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a
very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find family members of the MIAs listed below.
For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match
up the lost families with the proper casualty agency.
I have compiled and maintain the following list of missing Korean War veterans whose families have not yet
been located. If you know the whereabouts of a family member please contact me
hgdavis@bellsouth.net. Harold Davis, 40th Infantry Division, Korea
