This really made me think of all the other MIA's out there from every war. The Earth has certainly consumed them, but if found, they should all get this type of recognition. Thanks Phil!

No doubt. Wihout a doubt there are hundreds of thousands of them still out there. Some are only identified by buttons, zippers, the bullets that killed them, and non-organic materials that identify them as humans. We people with our destructive nature probably unknowingly destroy or remove many a year with construction equipment, disc/till over many in fields on farms, and wash many out of river bottoms and banks with our boats and ships.
