1st Lt. James E. Wright’s remains were identified in July 2021 by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) after being interred in the Luxembourg American Cemetery in France for almost 70 years. Wright served during World War II. Wright was last seen rowing across the river toward the German side to search for injured soldiers. He had already crossed the river multiple times to bring back three wounded men in his unit and was returning in search of more. He was awarded a Silver Star for this act.

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. Amazing story of this very brave Officer. He can now rest in peace and his family can close the case that he was missing in action!
