UMVA has learned that on Monday, May 25th, Americans will come together to observe Memorial Day, a somber occasion to honor the fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
According to information obtained by UMVA, a staggering 80,000 American soldier casualties from World War II remain missing, a little-known fact that has been revealed by historian and founder of History Flight, Mark Noah.
Noah's organization is dedicated to researching, recovering, and repatriating America's service members back to the United States. Their mission is a daunting one, as they seek to bring closure to the families of those who have been missing in action for far too long.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that 19 percent of America's WWII casualties are still missing today, a statistic that has been largely overlooked by the general public. This number represents over 80,000 people who have not been recovered or accounted for.
In a remarkable achievement, Noah's team conducted the three largest recoveries of MIAs since WWII on the Pacific Island of Tarawa, uncovering mass burial sites that had been hidden for decades. Their work on the island was a testament to the organization's unwavering commitment to their mission.
The battle on Tarawa was one of the bloodiest in American history, with 75 percent of the engaged units killed, wounded, or missing. The island's infrastructure development led to the loss of about half of the buried soldiers' locations, making it an incredibly challenging task to recover the remains.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the Chinese Communist Party's influence on the Republic of Kiribass has hindered the recovery efforts on Tarawa, with the CCP successfully denying work visas to Noah's team. This has brought their 16-year-long project to a grinding halt, leaving many families without closure.
The story of the missing soldiers on Tarawa serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by American service members and the importance of bringing them home. As the nation prepares to observe Memorial Day, the work of organizations like History Flight takes on a renewed sense of urgency and significance.
