However, their original status involved (or still involves) the uncertainty of their whereabouts.  For each name on the list, there are countless family members, fellow servicemen, friends, bearers of POW/MIA bracelets and a nation who have borne the burden of those who have not yet been brought home - a promise that this nation must honor to the fullest extent possible.   Korean War   PFC Francis Eugene Harrison Eureka County, NV United States Army Unit: G CO 2/19 REGT 24 ID Korea:  17-JUL-1950 Missing in Action   SSGT Arthur William Hoult Lamoille, NV   United States Air Force Unit: 325TH BOMBARDMENT SQUADRON, 92ND BOMBARDMENT GROUP Korea:  9-SEP-1950 Prisoner of War / Died while Captured in 1954 / Body not Recovered   CPL Robert Harrison Atha Lincoln County, NV   United States Army Unit: HQ BTRY 15 FA 2 ID Korea:  13-FEB-1951 Missing in Action   1LT Frank Ralph Salazar Reno, NV   United States Air Force Unit: 45TH TACTICAL RECON SQDN Korea: 31-DEC-1951 Missing in Action   ENS Gerald James Sullivan Elko, NV   United States Navy Unit: FTR SQDN 191 (VF-191) Korea:  6-MAY-1951 Missing in Action   (courtesy: Find A Grave) CPL David Elliot Pursley Elko, NV   United States Army Unit: A BTRY 955  FA Korea: 14-JUL-1953 Missing in Action / Presumed Dead 1954 Remains Returned 1993, Identified 2004 (Buried in Arlington National Cemetery)     Vietnam War     (courtesy: footnote.com) MAJ Joseph Edward Bower Ely, NV United States Air Force Unit: 421ST  TAC FTR SQDN, 6234TH TAC FTR WING, 13TH AF MOS:  Pilot North Vietnam:  3-AUG-1965 Killed in Action / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*...         (courtesy: USAFA Graduate Memorial Wall) CAPT Michael Lewis Hyde Boulder City, NV United States Air Force Graduate of the USAF Academy (Class of 1960) Unit:  510TH TAC FTR SQDN, 3RD TAC FTR WING, 7TH AF MOS:  Pilot South Vietnam:  8-DEC-1966 Missing in Action / Died While Missing Remains Returned 1990, Identified 1991 Buried in the United States Air Force Academy Cementery more from The Virtual Wall*...        (courtesy: Project Get Out and Walk) LCDR Richard Clark Perry Carlin, NV United States Navy Unit:  USS ORISKANY, VA-164, TF 77, 7TH FLEET North Vietnam:  31-AUG-1967 MOS:  Pilot Killed in Action / Body Not Recovered Remains Returned 1986, Identified 1987 more from The Virtual Wall*...       (courtesy: 9th Infantry Division) SPC Ronald Paul Schworer   Las Vegas, NV   United States Army Unit:  C CO, 4TH BN, 47TH INF RGT, 9 ID MOS:  Infantryman South Vietnam:  9-APR-1967 Missing in Action Died while Missing 1968 / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*...       (courtesy: The Virtual Wall) SFC Billy David Hill  Fallon, NV   United States Army Unit: 282ND AHC, 212TH AVN BN, 16TH AVN GRP, 1 AVN BDE MOS:  UH-1 Helicopter Repairer South Vietnam:  21-JAN-1968 Missing in Action / Died While Missing / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*...     (courtesy: Find A Grave) SSGT William Edward Skivington, Jr.  Las Vegas, NV United States Army Unit: E CO, 2ND BN, 1ST INFANTRY, 196TH INFANTRY BDE MOS:  Infantryman South Vietnam:  12-MAY-1968 Missing in Action Remains Returned and Identified 2006 Buried in Arlington National Cemetery more from The Virtual Wall*...       (courtesy: footnote.com) LCDR Larry Jack Van Renselaar  Las Vegas, NV United States Navy Unit: USS CONSTELLATION, VA-196, TF 77, 7TH FLEET MOS:  Pilot North Vietnam:  30-SEP-1968 Missing in Action / Prisoner of War Remains Returned 1989, Identified 1990  more from The Virtual Wall*...     (courtesy: footnote.com)   CDR Frederick Herb Whittemore  Carson City, NV United States Navy Unit:  USS BON HOMME RICHARD, VA-212, TF 77, 7TH FLEET MOS:  Pilot South Vietnam:  11-APR-1968 Missing in Action / Died while Missing / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*...       (courtesy: The Virtual Wall) EN3 Albert Mark Fransen, Jr.  Las Vegas, NV United States Navy Unit:  PCF-87, COASTAL DIV 15, TF-115, USNAVFORV MOS:  Engineman South Vietnam:  2-JUL-1969 Killed in Action / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*...     (courtesy: footnote.com)   AMH3 Patrick Gregory Cartwright  Reno, NV United States Navy Unit: USS KITTY HAWK, VA-195, TF 77, 7TH FLEET MOS:  Aviation Structural Mechanic North Vietnam:  31-JAN-1971 Killed in Action / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*...       (courtesy: Task Force Omega)     CPT Michael Duane Parsons  Reno, NV United States Army Unit: 61ST AHC, 223RD AVN BN, 17TH AVN GRP, 1 AVN BDE MOS:  Rotary WIng Aviation Unit Commander South Vietnam:  3-JAN-1971 (Died 1975) Missing in Action / Died while Missing / Body Not Recovered more from The Virtual Wall*... ~ You are not forgotten ~ *(To learn more about each individual, click the "more from the Virtual Wall " link, then click "full profile " or "database page for...
