Leave No Soldier Behind: Part II

AUSA’s Army Matters Podcast

It’s a simple yet powerful creed: “Leave no Soldier behind.” At the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), every single employee takes this to heart and spends their days trying to find and identify the remains of American Soldiers who have been lost overseas. In this emotional second episode of a two-part series on the DPAA, we speak to researchers Dr. Veronica Keyes and Dr. Dawn Berry to learn what they do to discover these remains and how it’s affected their own lives. And we end with a special moment as we hear from a family member who was finally able to have their lost one returned home.

Guests:

Dr. Dawn A. Berry, Chief of Research, Korea, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Indo-Pacific Directorate, Research Division

Dr. Veronica A. Keyes, RPA, D-ABFA, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Laboratory

Music Credits:

“Home at Last”, “The Faded Uniform - guitar and strings” and “The Faded Uniform - guitars only;” Written and performed by Ray Emil Kapaun.
