I am searching for the family of two soldier that were killed in the Korea War. These soldiers had the surname ELLIOTT and their remains were never recovered.

He gave his Home of Record as Muscogee County, GA
Born: 1931
Date of loss: November 30, 1950 KIA
RA14337398
C Btry 38th Field Art Bat, 2nd Inf Division

Soldier: ROY EDWARD ELLIOTT
He gave his Home of Record as Cloud County, KS
Born: 1920
Date of loss: November 30, 1950 POW
RA37206745
Svc Btry 38th Fiels Art Btn, 2nd Inf Division

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.
