Another Comes Home
February 13th, 2013
PFC James Hare went overseas in 1949. Not long afterwards he ended up in Korea.
He was captured. He died in a POW camp, and was buried in a mass grave.
His remains were in a group of 450 sets of remains returned by North Korea in the early 1990s. It took a while, but PFC Hare’s remains were finally positively identified.
PFC Hare will be laid to rest today near Cumberland, MD.
Rest in peace, my elder brother-in-arms. Rest in peace.

LanceCooley: don’t mind doing it. Everyone who gives their all in this nation’s service should get a proper burial.
Even if that burial is six plus decades after the fact, it’s still something that they deserve. We owe them that.

According to an article I read regarding PFC Hare, he was reported MIA on this very date, 13 February. He was later listed as a POW and reportedly died of starvation in a North Korean camp during April 1952.
They are never gone who are remembered.
