Remains of Korean War soldier identified as 17-year-old who went missing 74 years ago
Thomas A. Smith (U.S. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency/Released)
MAY 17, 2024 KATE LINDERMAN - THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
 
After a 17-year-old American soldier went missing in action in 1950 during the Korean War, military officials said they couldn’t find his remains.


Nearly 74 years later, Thomas A. Smith of Grant, Michigan, has been accounted for, the U.S. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced on May 14.

Smith went missing on Aug. 2, 1950, during a battle in Chinju at the southern end of the Korean peninsula. Soldiers were unable to recover his remains, officials said, and they determined he was not a prisoner of war.


The U.S. Army presumed Smith dead in 1953, officials said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
