Default Remains of Medal of Honor recipient from Korean War identified,

A serviceman who was unaccounted for from the Korean War has been identified and will be returned to his family for burial at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.
Army Lt. Col. Don C. Faith Jr. of Washington, Ind. will be buried on April 17.
He was a veteran of World War II and went on to serve in the Korean War.
In 1950, Faith’s 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, which was attached to the 31st Regimental Combat Team (RCT), was advancing along the eastern side of the Chosin Reservoir, in North Korea.
From Nov. 27 to Dec. 1, 1950, the Chinese People’s Volunteer Forces (CPVF) encircled and attempted to overrun the U.S. position. During this series of attacks, Faith’s commander went missing, and Faith assumed command of the 31st RCT.
