Korea Cold War - Families of the Missing

Korea Cold War - Families of the Missing Families United in a Search for Truth, Dignity, Acknowledgment and Closure
We are the families... sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, sons and daughters.

Korea-Cold War Families of the Missing, Inc., is a family advocacy organization registered in the state of New York. Formed in response to the needs of KW-CW family members to have a strong, unified voice, we strive to address individual case questions, overall issue status, and the maturing of relationships with USG agencies tasked with POW-MIA affairs and foreign entities with a mutual interest

in resolution of this issue on humanitarian grounds. Our governing body is comprised of Korean War and Cold War POW-MIA family members. For those who are caring citizens, veterans and non-family members, you may join us and support us as with a 'Friend of the Families' membership. The majority of Family Members are active advocates within the issue. However, we understand that many do not have the wherewithall or resources to accomplish the overwhelming task of finding answers. As a group we are able to address numerous aspects and pool our collective resources and invite Family Members to join us. You may be as active or inactive as you wish. We meet monthly in our corporate seat of Long Island, New York and yearly at the DPMO - Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office - annual family briefing in Washington, DC. In the near future we will be publishing a quarterly newsletter dedicated to all aspects of the Korea-Cold War POW/MIA issue. Please watch our NEWS section for an announcement on publication. We also provide regular email news and updates... email access is required. As our membership spans the entire country, Family Members are available as guest speakers at commemorations and events, Dinings-In, National POW-MIA Recognition Day, for schools and to respond to media requests. We welcome your comments, questions and thoughts. Korea-Cold War Families of the Missing, Inc. PO Box 454, Farmingdale, NY 11735 USA

US Defense Department officials have told a representative of a families' group of US soldiers who went missing in the Korean War that they will speed up efforts to recover all their remains from North Korea.

Three officials visited group representative Irene Mandra in New York on Thursday. Mandra's elder brother, who was a Marine, disappeared during combat in North Korea.

Their visit comes one day after the remains of 55 US soldiers killed in the war arrived at a US air force base in Hawaii. North Korea handed them over in late July, based on an agreement reached at the US-North Korea summit in June.

The officials informed Mandra that DNA testing will be carried out on the returned remains. They said they also plan to speed up efforts to recover the remains of about 5,300 US servicemen still believed to be in North Korea.

Mandra said that while she is grateful for the latest return of the remains, many more are waiting to be recovered.

She said the family members are old and don't know how much more time they have to live. She asked that the remains be returned as quickly as possible so they can be buried with their families.

Lee Tucker, a spokesman for the Defense Department agency responsible for searching for missing personnel, told NHK that they expect the latest return to lead to more repatriation of remains. He said the agency is always ready to go to North Korea for the search.
