still when he died in 1995. My dad was a WWII Veteran of the

Please email me if you have any greater details of which battles and

I am a disabled veteran as well and I would like to be able to tell my

Thank you for responding to my letter. My father was a p.o.w. and was captured at the battle at Unsan on November 2nd 1950. He was in prison camp #5 pyok dong in North Korea. On some paperwork I have it says he was captured at 300. I don't know what this means. He was held for 133 weeks. He was released 08/11/1953. I do have alot of photos from Korea, servicemen, barracks, and numerous other things.I also have some letters that he wrote his parents while he was in the service.I will read these and see if there is any information that will help someone find a missing GI.

Comments: After over 56 years, my Uncle, Sgt Frank Bunchuk, is coming home, as his remains have been identified, thanks to all those involved in finding and identifying remains from the Korean War, located in North Korea. This was made possible through DNA obtained from my mother (his sister) and I through the DNA Identification Program. Although from Orleans/Niagara Counties in New York State, the family has chosen burial at Arlington National Cemetery, which will take place on 09 August 2007. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing closure to our family and allowing us to BRING UNCLE FRANKIE HOME. This experience has shown us that they truly ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!
Again, THANK YOU, Jeanette Welsh
