Maine Veterans Spotlight: Episode 93

On this special episode of the Maine Veterans Spotlight, Wreaths Across America’s Chris Chapman had the honor of covering the VFW National Convention in Reno, Nevada. We talked with the Maine State Commander for the VFW, Roger Stevens. The Director of the Defense POW MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), Kelly McKeague, joins us to tell us about the great work the DPAA is doing. Tom Scheurich shares how his father’s remains were recovered in Vietnam by DPAA. We round out the show with Donna Knox; her father is still MIA after his plane went down in Korea during the Korean War, and the DPAA is still searching for his remains.
