WASHINGTON –
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced today that U.S. Army Cpl. Thomas W. Neiswinger, 21, killed during the Korean War, was accounted for Sept. 25, 2025.
In September 1950, Neiswinger was a member of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He was reported missing in action on Sept. 6, in the vicinity of Am-Sin, South Korea during engagement against enemy forces in the Naktong Bulge area. Due to intense fighting in the area, his body could not be recovered at that time. He was never reported as a prisoner of war and after subsequent searches of the battlefield failed to recover his remains, the U.S. Army determined Neiswinger to be nonrecoverable on Dec. 31, 1953.
This is an initial release. The complete accounting of Neiswinger's case will be published once the family receives their full briefing.
