Vince Shank Birthday Party‏

We have been invited to this birthday party by his daughter Nancy. Vince was the WW11 veteran and a POW that was written about in the RJ for Memorial Day. His daughter has invited all veterans to this party , because Vince will be 100 on Sept 19, 2016. So spread the word to all veterans. I will be there for sure since my dad was liberated from the same POW camp on April 30, 1945. The media will also be there for this event. So lets rally the troops. The time is 3pm to 6pm on Monday September 19. Location is

5. MIA Update: The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced the identification of remains of one soldier and two sailors who had been missing in action from the Korean War and World War II. Returned are:
-- Army Pvt. Virgil B. Adkins, of Summers, W.Va., who is scheduled to be buried with full military honors on Sept. 3 in Hinton, W.Va. On July 17, 1953, Adkins was reported missing after his patrol came under attack north of the former Demilitarized Zone in North Korea. He was assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 65th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division.

-- Navy Fireman 1st Class Jim H. Johnston and Seaman 1st Class Murry R. Cargile, were both stationed aboard the USS Oklahoma on Dec. 7, 1941, when the battleship suffered multiple torpedo hits and capsized as it was moored off Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. During salvage efforts, a large number of remains representing as many as 400 individuals were recovered and buried as unknowns at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. The remains were exhumed in 2015, and due to advances in forensics technology, both Johnston and Cargile were identified. Interment services are pending. Read more at:
