The best resource for researching American POWs and MIAs is the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office. You can search a variety of databases related to these issues on their web site at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo, or you can call (703) 699-1155 or (703) 699-1199. My family member was a prisoner of war or among those of World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War that are listed as missing in action. Is the Department of Defense attempting to reach family members? Yes, the Department of Defense is requesting that family members contact the casualty office for the branch of service in which the decedent was serving at the time of being placed in POW or MIA status. The service casualty offices are compiling family member databases for use if remains of missing are located.
