This thread is migrating from the announcements. The information was sent by Jim West.

Jim West noted:
It might be of interest, that the Pentagon is now reviewing the Indiana Military web
sites (www.IndianaMilitary.org) and Rosters of the 28th, 30th, 31st, 83rd, 92nd,
and 106th roster, as an aid to help identify and locate MIAs from WW2 and the Korean
War.
The writer to me is a historian with the Department of Defense Prisoner of
War/Missing Personnel Office (formerly DPMO). Her office is charged with the fullest
possible accounting of all missing service personnel and she works in the WWII
Division.
They have more than 200 ground troops still missing from the Battle of the Bulge.
She met several 106th Veterans during the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of the
Bulge last month. I thank Dick Lockhart and Carl Wouters for bringing my sites and
rosters to her attention.
I think this points out that everyone should visit your 106th Roster and examine it
to be sure all are included and that the information presented is correct and
complete.
The 106th Roster can be seen at tinyurl.com/106th-INFDIV-Roster. If you see
any necessary changes, just email me and I will immediately make the corrections.
It doesn’t only have to be the individual – if you know of missing Veterans, or
missing info about a deceased Veteran, that would also be valuable.
