I am searching for the family of two soldiers who were killed in the Korea
War. When they entered service they gave Floyd County, Indiana as their home
of record.
Soldier: JAMES THOMAS MCINTYRE
Born: Feb. 21, 1930, Caucasian
Date of loss: July 11, 1950, POW
Soldier; LEWIS PEIFER PLEISS
Born; August 31, 1928, Caucasian
Date of loss; Sept. 23, 1951, 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.
There are 70 families from Indiana that have not been located. There are two
families from Floyd County that has 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 (76 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 these families. 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 these families.
