Wow. Thanks for the info. From what I read, the POW MIA center in Hawaii has a large set of exhumed bodies provided by nations but their biggest issue is collecting and confirming the DNA set as most of them do not have any definitive identification such as dog tags, clothing etc..

My neighbor and her sister,both in their early 80s at the time, had the DNA sent to Hawaii for identity proof.

Didn’t John McShame swear that there no POW/MIA’s left there?

Today the pilot of the plane bringing Capt. Knight back to Dallas is his son.
That's just incredible.
Welcome home brother and RIP ...

From the obituary:
Col. Roy A. Knight, Jr., will be coming home to Texas with a Dignified Arrival on August 8, 2019. He will be flown home by his son, Bryan, a Captain with Southwest Airlines, to Dallas Love Field, the same airport where 5-year-old Bryan said goodbye to his father when he left to go to war fifty-two years ago.

These are the Americans that deserve our undying respect, not some SJW punk in an NFL football costume.
