Airman Missing from WWII is Identified

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO)
announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing from World War
II, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial
with full military honors.

He is 2nd Lt. Harold E. Hoskin, U.S. Army Air Forces, of Houlton,
Maine.He will be buried Friday in Arlington National Cemetery near
Washington, D.C.

Representatives from the Army met with Hoskin's next-of-kin to explain
the recovery and identification process, and to coordinate interment
with military honors on behalf of the Secretary of the Army.

On Dec. 21, 1943, Hoskin was one of five crewmen on board a B-24D that
departed Ladd Field in Fairbanks, Alaska, on a cold-weather test
mission.The aircraft never returned to base and it was not located in
subsequent search attempts.The following March, one of the crewmen, 1st Lt.
Leon Crane, arrived at Ladd Field after spending more than two months in
the Alaska wilderness.He said that the plane had crashed after it lost
an engine, and Crane and another crewmember, Master Sgt. Richard L.
Pompeo, parachuted from the aircraft before it crashed. Crane did not
know what happened to Pompeo after they bailed out.

In October 1944, Crane assisted a recovery team in locating the
crash.They recovered the remains of two of the crewmen, 1st Lt. James B.
Sibert and Staff Sgt. Ralph S. Wenz.Hoskin's remains were not found and it
was concluded that he probably parachuted out of the aircraft before it
crashed.

Requesting prayer for the family, friends, and loved ones of 2nd Lt. Harold E. Hoskin, U.S. Army Air Forces, of Houlton, Maine

Marine Missing From Korean War Is Identified

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors.

He is Pfc. Carl A. West, U.S. Marine Corps, of Amanda Park, Washington. He will be buried Oct. 4 in Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.

West was a member of Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment, of the 1st Marine Division deployed near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. On Nov. 27, 1950, three Communist Chinese divisions launched an attack on the Marine positions. Over the next several days, U.S. forces staged a fighting withdrawal to the south, first to Hagaru-ri, then Koto-ri, and eventually to defensive positions at Hungnam. West died on Dec. 8, 1950, as a result of enemy action near Koto-ri. He was buried by fellow Marines in a temporary U.N. military cemetery in Hungnam, which fell to the North Koreans in December 1950. His identity was later verified by the FBI from a fingerprint taken at the time of the burial.
