I came across your page the other day and thought you or some of the 
people out there help me find information about my Great Uncle who is 
MIA from the Korean War. Any information on him would be greatly
appreciated by our whole family.This is all we know about him...

His name is Roger Lewis Vote born Feb. 19, 1932. He was raised in 
Michigan and had sisters and a brother.He was reported missing on Oct 
27, 1951. 

He was aboard the USS Wiltsie. On this ship he was a Seaman gunner. 
The USS Wiltsie was about 200 miles West of Oahu. He and his friend 
Jack Sanford of San Diego were both reported missing. 

The men on this ship downed 4 Russian planes that had North Korean
pilots. Roger did have a girlfriend, Pat, my grandma recalls. 

This is all we know about his disapperance. If anyone knows anything 
about him or his friend, Jack, please let us know. 

Thank you.

I am on the adoption team of OJC.  I got an adoption request for a
Roger Vote who was on the USS Wiltsie between Hawaii and Midway.  He was
reported missing October 1951.

I don't have anything on him and checked your data base and can find
nothing on him.  Would you have any idea where I can locate this man.
His nephew wants to find out what he can on him to do a web page etc.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
