POW/MIA Recoveries ► 140301 thru 140315
"Keeping the Promise", "Fulfill their Trust" and "No one left behind" are several of many mottos that refer to the efforts of the Department of Defense to recover those who became missing while serving our nation. The number of Americans who remain missing from conflicts in this century are: World War II (73,000+), Korean War (7,921) Cold War (126), Vietnam War (1,642), 1991 Gulf War (0), and OEF/OIF (6). Over 600 Defense Department men and women -- both military and civilian -- work in organizations around the world as part of DoD's personnel recovery and personnel accounting communities. They are all dedicated to the single mission of finding and bringing our missing personnel home. For a listing of all personnel accounted for since 2007 refer to http: //www.dtic.mil/dpmo/accounted_for . For additional information on the Defense Department’s mission to account for missing Americans, visit the Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) web site at http: //www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call or call (703) 699-1169. The remains of the following MIA/POW’s have been recovered, identified, and scheduled for burial since the publication of the last RAO Bulletin:

Family members seeking more information about missing loved ones may call the following Service Casualty Offices: U.S. Air Force (800) 531-5501, U.S. Army (800) 892-2490, U.S. Marine Corps (800) 847-1597, U.S. Navy (800) 443-9298, or U.S. Department of State (202) 647-5470. The remains of the following MIA/POW’s have been recovered, identified, and scheduled for burial since the publication of the last RAO Bulletin:

Vietnam - None
Korea

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced 21 MAR that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors. Army Cpl. Cristobal Romo, 19, of San Diego, will be buried March 22, in Riverside, Calif. In November 1950, Romo was a member of Company L, 31st Infantry Regiment, operating along the eastern banks of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. From Nov. 27 – Dec. 1, 1950, the Chinese People’s Volunteer Forces overran U.S. positions and U.S. troops were forced to withdraw south along Route 5 to more defensible positions. Following the battle, Romo was one of many men reported missing in action. In September 2004, a joint U.S./Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (D.P.R.K.) team excavated a site south of the Pungnyuri-gang inlet of the Chosin Reservoir, and recovered human remains. The remains were sent to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) for analysis. From 2005 to 2012, the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL) continued to conduct DNA analysis on recovered remains in the vicinity of Romo’s loss. As technology advanced they were able to identify Romo. To identify Romo’s remains, scientists from JPAC and AFDIL used circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools, including mitochondrial DNA that matched Romo’s sister and nephew, and autosomal DNA that also matched his sister.

Marine Corps Cpl. William F. Day, Company H, 3rd Battalion, 11th Regiment, 1st Marine Division, lost Dec. 2, 1950, in North Korea was accounted for on March 6 and will be buried with full military honors on April 5 in La Center, Ky.
Army Pfc. Arthur Richardson, Company A, 1st Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, lost on Jan. 1, 1951, in South Korea was accounted for on March 21. A burial date has yet to be set.
Marine Corps Cpl. William S. Blasdel, Company H, 3rd Battalion, 11th Regiment, 1st Marine Division, lost Oct. 28, 1953, in North Korea was accounted for on March 10 and will be buried with full military honors this spring in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

Today, 7,889 Americans remain unaccounted for from the Korean War. Using modern technology, identifications continue to be made from remains that were previously turned over by

North Korean officials or recovered from North Korea by American teams.

World War II - None

OBIT | Denton~Jeremiah ► 28 Mar 2014
Former Alabama Sen. Jeremiah Denton, who survived 7½ years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam and alerted the U.S. military to conditions there when he blinked the word “torture” in Morse code during a television interview, died 28 MAR. He was 89. Denton’s grandson, Edward Denton, said he died about 8 a.m. at a hospice facility in Virginia Beach, Va., surrounded by family. Edward Denton said his grandfather had been in declining health for the past year and died from heart problems. Denton, a retired Navy rear admiral, in 1980 became the first Republican elected to the U.S. Senate from Alabama since Reconstruction, but he narrowly lost a re-election bid six years later. As a senator, he was a strong advocate of conservative causes and backer of the Reagan administration. But the iron will that served him in such good stead in captivity gave rise to criticism that he was too rigid as a politician.

Former Alabama Sen. Jeremiah Denton
Denton first received wide notice as a POW with an unbending patriotic commitment, despite torture and the horrors of years of captivity. He called his book about the experiences “When Hell Was in Session.” In June 1965, the Mobile native and father of seven began flying combat missions for the Navy in Vietnam. The next month, on 18 JUL, he was shot down near Thanh Hoa. Captured, he spent the next 7½ years in several North Vietnamese prisoner of war camps, including the infamous “Hanoi Hilton.” Four of those years were spent in solitary confinement in a tiny, stinking, windowless cell. “They beat you with fists and fan belts,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1979. “They warmed you up and threatened you with death. Then they really got serious and gave you something called the rope trick.” The use of ropes — to cut off circulation in his limbs — left him with no feeling in his fingertips and intense muscle spasms, he said.

It was Denton who provided the first direct evidence of torture by his captors when, apparently unbeknownst to them, he blinked his message in Morse code in a 1966 interview done with him in captivity. A video of the interview can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgelmcOdS38#t=28. In the tape, made by a Japanese interviewer and intended by the North Vietnamese as propaganda, Denton also confounded the captors by saying that he continued to fully support the U.S. government, “and I will support it as long as I live.” He was tortured again. “In the early morning hours, I prayed that I could keep my sanity until they released me. I couldn’t even give in to their demands, because there were none. It was pure revenge,” Denton wrote. He said his captors never brought him out for another interview. But with the war’s end drawing closer, he was released in February 1973. He was the senior officer among former POWs who stepped off a plane into freedom at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. Denton epitomized the military spirit as he spoke for the returning soldiers: “We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances. We are profoundly grateful to our commander-in-chief and to our nation for this day. God bless America.”
His words and bearing, beamed back to his country by television, gave heart to the military at a time of increasing uncertainty and bitter division over the course of the war. The tape he had made in 1966 was widely seen, and U.S. intelligence experts had picked up the Morse Code message. But Denton theorized later that his captors likely figured it out only after he was awarded the Navy Cross — the second-highest decoration for valor — for the blinks in 1974. He was promoted to rear admiral and retired from the Navy in November 1977. Denton then turned to politics, despite having no experience running for a statewide political office. With Ronald Reagan atop the GOP ticket, Denton became the first Republican elected to the Senate from Alabama since the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. In Washington, he was a Reagan loyalist, a defender of military might and an advocate for a return to traditional family values and conservative stands on moral issues. But critics said his rigid stands left him no room for political compromise and lessened his influence, limiting his ability to help Alabama.
Denton lost his re-election bid in 1986 by only a fraction of a percentage point. After his defeat, Denton founded the Coalition for Decency and lectured about family causes. Denton also launched a humanitarian outreach to needy countries through his National Forum Foundation, which arranged shipments of donated goods. In later years, he lived in Williamsburg, Va., but he still appeared at patriotic gatherings. In November 2008, an emotional Denton watched at Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Ala., as a newly restored A-6 Intruder fighter/bomber — like the one he flew over North Vietnam — was rolled out. The aircraft had been acquired from the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola for display in the Alabama park in Denton’s honor. Denton’s grandson, Edward, said that on one hand, Denton was a normal grandfather who enjoyed taking his grandchildren fishing aboard his boat in Mobile. “On the other hand,” he said, “he was a war hero and someone who set an example for being what being a good, patriotic American is all about.” [Source: Associated Press| Matt Schudel | 28 Mar 2014 ++]

Vet Jobs Update 146 ► Benefits of Working for Uncle Sam
Want to make sure retirement treats you well? Work for Uncle Sam, and those golden years could have a little added shine. Not only are federal retirement benefits portable, but being the largest employer provides the government excellent leverage in securing benefits for its employees. Take the example of Jane Smith, a fictional but possible example of a former federal employee. After college, Jane was hired by a large federal agency where she gained experience and insight into the workings of the federal government. After eight years of federal service, she left the federal government with a salary of $73,000 to work for a private-sector company that offered her different opportunities for growth in her chosen field.
Despite her departure, Jane still would have earned the following portable benefits:

Pension (FERS Basic Benefit): The Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) provides a basic defined benefit pension after only five years of creditable civilian service. Eligibility for this benefit and its computation depends on the combination of years of service and age. Many federal employees retire as early as age 55 with lifetime retirement benefits. Jane's benefit at departure: A lifetime pension of $5,600 per year or $466 per month payable at age 62 with annual cost of living adjustments. Learn more about federal Retirement at http://www.opm.gov/retirement-services
Retirement Savings (Thrift Savings Plan): The federal government provides an automatic 1 percent contribution to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) -- the government's version of a 401k plan -- for all federal employees who are covered by the FERS. In addition, the government matches the first 3 percent of employee contributions dollar for dollar, and the fourth and fifth percent get a 50 percent match. Jane's benefit: $105,000 in retirement savings with a 10 percent payroll contribution. If her investment grew at an average rate of 8 percent for 32 more years, that's more than a million dollars. Learn more about the TSP at https://www.tsp.gov/index.shtml
Social Security: All federal employees covered by FERS are fully covered by Social Security. Government earnings count towards a future Social Security benefit just like private-sector earnings. Jane's benefit: Social security benefits of $200 per month payable at age 67 or a reduced amount payable at age 62. Learn more about Social Security at http://www.ssa.gov.
Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance is fully portable. Jane's benefit: She brought it with her to her new employer. Learn more about LTC at http://www.ltcfeds.com.

While employed by the federal government, Jane could have taken advantage of additional benefits that include:

Disability Benefits: There are three types of disability benefits. These include:

Long-Term: All federal employees have permanent disability retirement available while employed. This benefit is part of the FERS retirement system; eligibility ends after federal employment. Learn more about FERS disability benefits.
Workers' Compensation: Federal employees are covered under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), which is administered by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) under the Department of Labor. Learn more about workers' compensation.
Short-Term: Federal employees earn 13 days of sick leave each year that they can carry over during a career. After 10 years of service, a federal employee has earned six months of sick leave, which can be used for recovery from an illness or accident, maternity leave or caring for a sick family member. This benefit can be restored if a separated employee returns to federal service. Learn more about federal leave policies.

Death Benefits: FERS provides survivor annuities for dependent children and spouses of deceased federal employees and to some former federal employees. Learn more about death benefits.
Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI): The government has a group life insurance benefit available to employees that can provide basic insurance equal to an employee's salary plus $2,000, as well as additional coverage of up to five multiples of basic salary. This benefit can be converted to an individual policy upon separation and also contains a living benefit for employees having a life-threatening illness. Learn more about FEGLI.
Health Insurance: Federal employees have many types of health insurance coverage to select from during annual open season periods. These include traditional fee-for-service coverage, HMOs and the new high-deductible health plans with healthcare savings accounts. While employed and after immediate retirement, the government contributes on average of 75 percent of the cost of the premiums. Former federal employees can continue this coverage for up to 18 months after leaving federal service. Employees may also use flexible spending accounts to pay for out-of-pocket medical and dependent care expenses. Learn more about these benefits from the US Office of Personnel Management and the FSAFEDS.
Annual Leave and Holidays: New full-time employees earn 13 days per year for the first three years of employment. Employees with three to 15 years of employment earn six hours per pay period (20 days per year) and employees with 15 or more years of employment earn eight hours each pay period (26 days per year). Part-time employees earn annual and sick leave in proportion to the hours worked. Unused annual leave (not to exceed 240 hours) may be carried over into the next leave year. When an employee resigns or retires from federal service, he is paid any unused annual leave in a lump sum payment. Learn more about federal leave policies at http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/leave-administration.
