The Department of Defense continues to report identifications of those who were not recovered and returned during the course of hostilities. Once the laboratories have made positive identification, notice is sent to the service branch casualty staff to report to surviving family.
Hal immediately posts notices to our KCCF Casualty file online at our website. He adds photos as they become available.
7. Accessing the KWP website
Security updates for the KWP website that began in the fall of 2017 have created problems for visitors. We have had contacts from many visitors who use Apple operating systems and Safari browsers,
Visitors using Safari often get a warning notice about having a certificate or password to enter the site. There are several solutions but most require a good working knowledge of the Apple Operating system.
Some Windows 10 users have mentioned similar issues. These are usually easy to resolve by clearing browser cache to include cookies.
