POW / MIA

Still unaccounted for

1,741 names on the Wall belonged to men whose remains had not been recovered when the 2008 Defense Department record was compiled. Some have since been identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency; about 1,566 Americans from the war are still listed as unaccounted for.
