MISSING IN ACTION
A project to bring home the lost Golden Lions
A project to bring home the lost Golden Lions
PURPOSE
Even though WWII ended 73 years ago, not all Golden Lions are accounted for. The military assigns these men with the classification MIA - Missing in Action. The Honor Roll of the 106th Infantry Division lists 700 names.
Below you will find a list of fifty-four individuals who remain MIA. They are listed with full name, rank, serial number, the known date of becoming missing in action, their unit and home state. If you are related to or knew one of these men, I would love to hear from you. Besides actively looking for information on their possible location, I am also looking for photos and background information about these men.
The ongoing search for the missing is one of the tasks of the DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency).
