Wow. This is what it's all about. I've mentioned quite a few times that I work on the U.S. Army's repatriation project to locate the families of soldiers still unaccounted for from Korea, WWII, Southeast Asia and even WWI. DNA from family members is used to help identify soldiers with the hope that they can finally be properly interred and honored.
I recently received a case that I asked ace researcher Sharon Elliott to tackle, and she did a remarkable job tracking down distant relatives. The soldier was 1st Lt. Dixie Siniard Parker, who was killed in action in Korea, and I couldn't help but tear up when I watched this remarkable video, including a moving tribute from the man who would have become his brother-in-law.
How wonderful that the whole community would remember and honor him this way.
