description

Summary

Soldiers with the 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) carry the casket of Army Pfc. Walter W. Green, during his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, July 20. In November 1950, Green was a member of Company E, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, participating in combat actions against the Chinese People’s Volunteer Forces (CPVF) in the vicinity of Unsan, North Korea. Green, 18, of Zanesville, Ohio, was reported missing in action as of Nov. 2, 1950 when he could not be accounted for by his unit. He was recently identified through DNA and anthropological analysis by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and returned to his family for burial with full military honors. DPAA’s mission is to provide the fullest possible accounting of missing personnel to their families and the nation. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Kristen Duus)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
