His wife received a letter advising that he MIA and his family presumed that he was KIA.
Wow! That just gets to me when I think about how those state-side dealt with things when they got a KIA letter/visit. It really would be difficult to have "moved on" and come to find out later the KIA designation was inaccurate. There was a movie that dealt with this I saw a few years ago, think it was called "Though None Go With Me". Good movie to watch. Anyway, God bless your wife's grandfather and all those vets mentioned in this thread!

My Dad's unit held a reunion every so often and the gentlemen would get together and catch up with each others lives. The number began to shrink steadily until the few that were left were unable to travel bringing the reunions to an end. It was with great sadness that we had to inform the last of the many, that my Dad had gone to meet with the others that had gone before them. He was number 8 of those that were left.
