Soldier Accounted for from Korean War (Schultz, F.)

WASHINGTON  –  

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that U.S. Army Pvt. Floyd Schultz, killed during the Korean War, was accounted for September 18, 2024.

In August 1950, Schultz was a member of Company E, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. He was reported missing in action when his unit engaged in combat actions with the North Korean People’s Army in the vicinity of Som-dong, Republic of Korea, on Aug. 14, 1950. Due to intense fighting in the area, his body could not be recovered at that time. The exact circumstances of his death were unknown, and he was later reported killed in action on Aug. 20, 1950.
