Remains of Korean War soldier to be buried in Pennsylvania

ANNVILLE, Pa. (AP) — The remains of a U.S. Army soldier from Ohio killed in the Korean War will be buried in Pennsylvania. The Army says Pfc. Donald Born will be laid to rest on Aug. 30 at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville. The Army says the Steubenville, Ohio, native was taking part in a defensive action near Chinju at the southern end of the Korean peninsula in 1950 when his unit came under attack. The 19-year-old went missing and was listed as presumed dead in 1953. Unidentified remains were disinterred for analysis in 2019. The Army says Born was accounted for in June by using anthropological and mitochondrial DNA analysis.
