Miami Herald: After 61 years, Korean War vet's remains returned
PORT ORANGE, Fla. -- Some 61 years after Army Sgt. 1st Class James Caldwell went missing in action during the Korean War, his children finally have answers.

Caldwell's partial remains, which were given to the United States by the North Korean government in the 1990s, will arrive in Port Orange for burial next week. Johnston Caldwell found out in December that his father's remains had been identified.

The soldier's regiment fell under attack at the Battle of Camel's Head in 1950. He had been listed among nearly 8,000 soldiers unaccounted for during the Korean War.

Caldwell will be buried Wednesday near his wife, Helen, in a Daytona Beach cemetery.

Caldwell's children, Johnston Caldwell and Kimm Dybowski were toddlers when he was reported missing in action.
