Townhall:
The remains of U.S. Army Cpl. Ysabel Arredondo Ortiz are returning home nearly 70 years after the soldier was reported missing in action. Ortiz, 19, of El Monte, California, was killed in the Korean War and his remains were identified in August 2019.
Ortiz reportedly went missing in action on Dec. 2, 1950, near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea, according to a report by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Ortiz was a member of Battery D, 15th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion, 7th Infantry Division. The report says Ortiz’s remains could not be recovered after the battle.
President Trump became the first U.S. president to step foot in North Korea after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un invited the president to step across the border. Following the historic summit, the North Korean leader turned over 55 boxes to the United States that contained the remains of American servicemen killed in the Korean War. read more
Name one president, let alone any politician that has done anything/more to date.. in the “effort” to bring home the country’s missing soldiers than TRUMP. Yea, I thought so.
Many talk, but TRUMP acts! Best Goddamn president EVER!
He has righted so many wrongs, it’s almost enough to make an agnostic like me to come to believe there is a GOD.
If President Trump is as bad as the demicretins say. why does this stuff happen?
Not by accident!!!
Imagine how much more our President could have done if the Demoncrats hadn’t fought him tooth and nail from the start!
God bless and protect this amazing and wonderful President. Amen.
Bout the only things the seditious gay Kenyan commie can brag about, after two terms, is making sure sick, perverted, weirdos can look over the walls in women’s bathrooms, a record number of treasonous military officers were promoted to Flag, and a record number of MS 13 gang bangers were let in.
Two homecoming stories in a row! I love it, albeit one for the right, good feeling, reason and the other being for an other profound more sobering reason.
Finally a family, just this one, has SOME resolve. There are so many others, this action is in a way an ultimate service, sacrifice and return.
His soul is being allowed to go to the Place it is supposed to have gone to a long time ago…
Not all pows imprisoned in N.Korea were returned at the end of the warfare. Those not returned were sent to Russia, imprisoned there and tortured in experiments. The remains returned in those boxes could have been some of them. US military and politicians knew this at the time, but considered these pows expendable at the price of ceased hostilities.
Forgotten War, Forgotten Soldiers
Book: American POWs left behind from Korean War
Bill Gertz – JULY 26, 2013 4:08 PM
“U.S. prisoners of war were left behind in North Korea, China, and Russia after the Korean War and the Pentagon failed to win their release or a full accounting of their fate, according to research contained in a new book that is highly critical of U.S. POW recovery efforts.
“The Obama White House and Pentagon show not a trace of urgency in recovering our Korean War POW/MIAs, perished or alive,” said Mark Sauter, the book’s co-author who has spent more than two decades investigating missing soldiers.”
“Declassified intelligence reports obtained by the authors reveal that Americans were being held captive in China, North Korea, and the Soviet Union at least through the 1990s.”
