Story
Though impressive, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a haunting reminder that some casualties never "came home," that families could not get closure. The US military is committed to eliminating that uncertainty. Forensic anthropologists have excavated Fort William Henry (French & Indian War) and Civil War burials to determine conditions of military life and cause of death, even though the remains cannot be named. The first use of DNA to ID a casualty was in Desert Storm. There are 90,000 "missing" US soldiers since 1941, and scientists in CILHI (the Central Identification Lab in Hawaii) not only search for fragments of remains worldwide, but also use DNA from maternal relatives to identify them. The success story featured (out of about 500 completed) is a Vietnam vet named Ed Hudgens, using forensic odontology on a single tooth fragment!
