FW: Chad Avery passed away today.

Subject: Re: Chad Avery passed away today.

Just getting to my emails after nearly a month of travel, I was saddened by the passing of a real Veteran who helped Veterans.  

Not all of our members are aware of his past work that gave many homeless, down on their luck veterans a way back home.  He and his wife were at the Key Foundation for many years.  The secret of success was not only providing a place to live and eat, but a place where they were required to work for their assistance.  It brought improved self-esteem to many who are now doing well because of Chad's efforts.  

Those referred to them were always treated with dignity and a supportive environment.

We will miss you Chad.  Thanks for taking care of our less fortunate along the way.

Lou

Soldier Missing From Korean War Accounted For 10/23/2015 10:24 AM CDT IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. NR-405-15 October 23, 2015 Soldier Missing From Korean War Accounted For The Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that the remains of a serviceman, missing from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors. U.S. Army Cpl. Robert E. Meyers of Greencastle, Pennsylvania, will be buried Oct. 26, in Arlington National Cemetery. Meyers, assigned to Company A, 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, was declared missing in action, Dec. 1, 1950, after his unit was involved in combat operations in the vicinity of Sonchu, North Korea. The U.S. Army declared Meyers deceased March 2, 1954. In 1954, United Nations and communist forces exchanged the remains of war dead in what came to be called "Operation Glory." All remains recovered in Operation Glory were turned over to the Army's Central Identification Unit for analysis. The remains they were unable to identify were interred as unknowns at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii, known as the "Punchbowl." In 2012, due to advances in technology, the Department of Defense began to re-examine records and concluded that the possibility of identification for some of these unknowns now existed. To identify Meyers' remains, scientists from DPAA and the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory used circumstantial evidence, dental analysis, and chest radiographs, which matched Meyers' records. Today, more than 7,800 Americans remain unaccounted for from the Korean War. Using advances in technology, identifications continue to be made from remains that were previously returned by North Korean officials or recovered by American teams. For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for Americans who went missing while serving our country, visit the DPAA website at www.dpaa.mil or call 703-699-1420.
