For those of you that may recall I have recently been on my soapbox
regarding DNA and its importance in genealogy research. I had also posted a rambling
piece on my efforts to assist DOD in locating a female descendant of my
grandfather's sister to be used in an attempt to identify remains turned over by
the North Koreans. I received news today that the DNA sample submitted by
the party I finally identified, was used to identify the remains of SFC
William T. Akins, Jr., son of W. T. Akins, Sr. and Mollie Mariah Cagle. W. T. was
a medic and along with two other medics and a chaplian stayed with the
wounded near Unsan, North Korea when the Chinese over ran their position on
November 2, 1950. All of our efforts were worth the closure it brings the family.
May he rest is peace. Best wishes to all, Earl Cagle
