U.S. soldier killed nearly 92 years agoThe remains of a U.S. soldier missing for nearly 92 years were laid to rest Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, with military honors for an Army private who died in a World War I skirmish in France.
"You can think of as a big-city police detective case; however, our cases are at a minimum 40 years old. And some of them are 60, 70 years old," said Greer.
World War I finds are rare, though, and the DPMO has only identified five U.S. soldiers from the "great war" since 2006, Greer said. That still leaves more than 3,000 U.S. troops missing and unaccounted for in that war. It's a small proportion of some 80,000 still missing from other wars that have ended -- World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. All the service members listed as prisoner-of-war/missing-in-action in the 1991 Gulf War have been accounted for, according to the agency.
"We have all the wartime records of everybody who is missing. Every day of the year, our analysts build case files," Greer said.
"If a family member were to write us and say, 'Please, my loved one is missing, please go find him,' we would respond to that family member and say, 'Well, let us show you what we've already done on his case.' And oftentimes, they're quite surprised to learn of it."
Some $105 million is allocated annually to recovering missing soldiers from past wars -- an amount, Greer said, that reflects the military's commitment to "leave no man behind."有1.05亿美元的拨款每年寻找战争失踪士兵 ，格里尔说，这反映了军队的承诺， “不留下任何人。”
