I looked on ancestry and it said he was from Carroll County, Georgia. Have
you looked there?

I am searching for the famiy of a soldiers with the surname Green that
was lost in the Korean War. At this time the government has no family
contact. At the time he was lost his remains were not recovered. Family
DNA is needed to identify remains if and when they are recovered. At the
time he entered service he gave his Home of Record as Carroll County, GA.
Soldier: HERSCHEL DAVE GREEN
Born: Jan. 20, 1931 Caucasian
Date of loss: October 18, 1951, KIA
Unit:L Co. 9th Inf Rgt, 2nd Inf Division
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. Our government has no family contact for the man
listed.
When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the
family for proper burial. I am just an old (79 years) 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.
