Army Cpl. David T. Nordin, Jr., missing from the Korean War, has now been accounted for.
On November 24, 1950, Nordin was a member of Company K, 3rd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, and began moving with his unit north along the west side of the Kuryong River to establish a position southwest of the town of Unsan as part of a large United Nations Command offensive. The Chinese People's Volunteer Forces (CPVF) launched a counterattack, and the unit was ordered to withdraw to a new defensive line. Nordin was reported missing in action November 28, 1950.
During the 37th Joint Field Activity in April and May 2005, a site south of Pukchin-Tarigol prisoner of war camp was excavated, recovering a number of sets of remains.
Lab analysis, in conjunction with the totality of circumstantial evidence available, established Nordin's remains were included.
Interment services are pending.
Welcome home and rest in peace, Cpl. Nordin.
