The Coalition of Families promotes the fullest possible accounting for American servicemen who remain missing in action from the Korean and Cold Wars. We help shape the nature and extent of the U.S. Government's effort to account for our missing servicemen. Our goal is to ensure that we are providing all the tools we can to aid in the search for missing servicemen.
