Missing no more, Korean War soldier’s remains returned to Sand Mountain

Alabama: Missing no more, Korean War soldier’s remains returned to Sand Mountain
By: Mike O'Neal
Bryant, Ala., native Hershel White is returning to his Sand Mountain home after an absence of 58 years for burial with full military honors.
Sgt. White, a member of the U.S. Army’s 1st Cavalry Division, was listed as missing in action on Nov. 2, 1950, after a battle near the Kuryong River.
“Korean was the forgotten war,” Faye Cooper, a sister, said today.
“But we didn’t forget,” another sister, Nina Ruth Clark, said. “We always said, ‘he’ll be home some day.’”
On April 12, 2007, the Democratic People’s Republic of (North) Korea repatriated to the United States six boxes of human remains excavated in 2006 from the vicinity of Unsan.
Sgt. White’s remains were identified among the six by forensic testing in March, clearing the way for a casualty of the Korean War being laid to rest alongside his mother and father.
“She (their mother) always told us he’d come back,” Mrs. Cooper said. “Now he’s home.”
Visitation with the family will be July 11 at Moore Funeral Home’s Bryant Chapel, and the veteran of the “forgotten war” will be buried in the Bryant Community Cemetery on July 12.
