Accounting for MIAs Every Day
Ahead of National POW/MIA Day on Friday, Sept. 16, you can check out some of the most recent MIAs to be identified at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). The most recent MIA Vietnam veterans to be accounted for are U.S. Army Pfc. Thomas F. Green and U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Sanford I. Finger. Green was 19 and serving as the door gunner on a CH-47B Chinook helicopter that went down over the South China Sea in bad weather in 1971; Finger was a passenger on the transport. The remains of only four of the 10 soldiers on board were recovered during initial search and rescue operations. #NationalPOWMIARecognitionDay
