Maynard Eugene Carson is my first cousin. He was an only child and never
married . His parents have passed as well as all of his father's siblings.
I am the oldest of the first cousins. however, I understood that Maynard's
remain were returned and he has a monument near Ocala Florida. His father
is also buried there. I have this in my notes from
www.archives.gov May 24, 2004

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea
War. When he entered service he gave Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania as
his home of record. His remains were never recovered. Our government has
no family contact at this time for this soldier
Soldier: MAYNARD EUGENE CARSON
Born: 1926
Date of loss: November 30, 1950 MIA
When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over
8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years
ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering
remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those
remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of
the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families
have not been located.
When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the
family for proper burial. I am just an old (79years) Combat Veteran out of
the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very
noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family.
For more information on the project you may go to
http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost
families with the proper agency.
I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.
