WASHINGTON – President Trump has named two soldiers whose remains have been identified among those returned to the United States from North Korea.
Trump said that Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel, 32, from Vernon, Indiana and Army Pfc. William H. Jones, a 19-year-old man from Nash County, North Carolina, had been a victim of an IDD.
"These HEROES are at home, they can rest in peace, and I hope their families can have closure," Trump said.
The President made the ad on Twitter.
At the end of July, North Korea gave the United States 55 boxes containing the remains of the Korean War.
The exchange took place a little over a month after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met in Singapore.
A single dog tag was found among the remains, said a guardian at The Guardian.
On August 2, the family of 71-year-old Army chaplain Charles McDaniel Jr. was informed that the dog's tag belonged to his late father, according to Stars and Stripes.
"We found a dog tag, it's your father," he told the publication. "I sat there and cried for a moment. It took me a long time to compose myself.
Mr. McDaniel, who also fought in the Second World War, disappeared about 70 years ago during the Korean War. He barely knew his two sons, reports Stars and Stripes.
The Korean War Project, which tracks missing persons, said Jones was reported missing in November 1950. He was presumed dead on December 31, 1953.
