Army Cpl. Roy C. Fink, killed in the Korean War, has now been accounted for.
Fink was assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, deployed east of the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea, when they were engaged by overwhelming numbers of Chinese forces in late November 1950. Wounded soldiers were evacuated, but Fink could not be accounted for and he was reported missing in action as of Dec. 2, 1950.
During the 25th Joint Recovery Operation in 2001, recovery teams conducted operations on the eastern bank of the Chosin Reservoir, in an area where Fink was reported missing. At least seven individuals were recovered and returned to the laboratory for processing.
Lab analysis, in conjunction with the totality of circumstantial evidence available, determined Fink's remains were included.
Interment service are pending.
Welcome home and rest in peace, Cpl. Fink.
