Welcome

The Coalition of Families promotes the fullest possible accounting for American servicemen who remain missing in action from the Korean and Cold Wars. Our members are all families of these men. Together, we not only assist each other in our individual searches for information, but we help to shape the nature and extent of the U.S. Government's effort to account for our missing servicemen.

The Coalition’s website has recently undergone a major overhaul to improve usability. Our goal, as always, is to ensure that we are providing all the tools we can to aid in the search for missing servicemen. To that end, everything on the site is now 100% handicapped accessible. We have also added several new features to make information more readily available to our visitors. Please be patient as we transition to our new layout. We are working tirelessly to bring you the best possible experience.

Take care, and remember that you are not alone in this journey for truth. We are right there with you.

That is to him unknown.

Their fighters and bombers lifted off Korean tarmacs like freed homing pigeons set loose in high hopes they would return. Most of them made it back safely. Others were simply never heard from again; question marks on the horizon. Wherever they went down, they were on their own and remain that way today...
