Buster Keirn’s remains were part of a shipment of bones that China turned over in 2015, according to Army Sgt. First Class Kristen Duus, a spokeswoman for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, which is part of the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
The remains had been removed from North Korea to China some time earlier, and the U.S. learned about them through an intermediary, Duus said.
The Forgotten War was one of tbe most brutal conflicts of the 20th
Century. God bless the men who fought and died in that hell on earth.
I happened to be in the ROK for work two weeks ago and I attended a repatriation ceremony for an as yet unidentified US Soldier and a Korean Soldier at the Korean National Cemetery. Pretty moving. I suspect it was this fellow.
