Army Pfc. Kenneth Miller, missing from the Korean War, has now been accounted for.
On April 23, 1951, Miller was a member of Company K, 3rd Battalion 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, when his unit was forced to withdraw from their position while fighting the Chinese Communist Forces (CCF). Miller was reported missing in action following the withdrawal.
In 1954, the remains of Korean War service members were returned to the United States in an operation called “Operation Glory.” The remains unable to be identified were interred as unknowns at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii.
Due to advances in technology, the remains were exhumed in 2015 for analysis.
Lab analysis, in conjunction with the totality of circumstantial evidence available, established Pfc. Miller’s remains were among those exhumed.
Interment services are pending.
