"I missed the part where Israel vowed to wipe Iran off the map ..." When you have 200+ nukes, you don't HAVE to say anything!

Korean War soldier buried 55 years later By DONNA DE LA CRUZ, Associated Press Writer Fri Aug 11, 11:46 PM ET Months after the Korean War started, heavy artillery hit Army Cpl. Edward F. Blazejewski's unit, killing the 25-year-old. When the unit had to move out, his body was left behind. His family waited 55 years for his remains to be recovered from Korean soil, identified and, on Friday, finally buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Blazejewski had been assigned to Medical Company, 8th Cavalry Regiment, according to the Defense Department. On Nov. 1, 1950, he was with his unit in Pyongan Province when Chinese forces barraged them with heavy artillery. A prisoner of war later told debriefers that Blazejewski and other soldiers had been killed that day by a grenade explosion. Because the unit had to quickly move to a defensive position, the bodies of the fallen soldiers were left behind. A joint U.S.-North Korean team working in the same area in 1997 excavated a site believed to contain the remains of several U.S. soldiers. The remains of four men were recovered and returned that year to U.S. officials. One was Blazejewski. His remains were positively identified this year by scientists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command's identification laboratory using various forensic methods, including mitochondrial DNA. Blazejewski's elderly sister was hospitalized in Florida and couldn't attend the service Friday where his remains were buried, said Larry Greer, the Pentagon's spokesman for its POW-MIA office. Other family members live in New York, he said. The other three soldiers found with Blazejewski were more quickly identified and were buried in 2000: Sgt. James T. Higgins of Benham, Ky.; Pfc. John T. Hoey of Philadelphia, and Sgt. Andrew Ernandis of New York. Higgins and Hoey were buried at Arlington; Ernandis was buried in Hicksville, N.Y. The Korean War lasted from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953. According to the Defense Department, more than 33,667 U.S. service members died in battle; an additional 3,249 died of other causes.
