WASHINGTON –
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that U.S. Army Cpl. John Brooks Miller, killed during the Korean War, was accounted for Sept. 4, 2024.
In November 1950, Miller was a member of Heavy Mortar Company, 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. He was reported missing in action on Dec. 2, 1950, after his unit was attacked by Chinese People's Volunteer Army as they attempted to withdraw near the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea. Following the battle, his remains could not be recovered.
This is an initial release. The complete accounting of Miller's case will be published once the family receives their full briefing.
