Officially Unaccounted-For,
12 Unofficially Unaccounted-For
Other personnel also remain
unaccounted-for in Iraq, 9 of 14 crewmembers of the Spirit '03
loss incident. As well as the A-6 loss with Barry Cook and Robert
Dwyer who was lost with his F/A 18. At the conclusion of the
Persian Gulf War 1991, all were classified as KIA/BNR. Michael
Scott Speicher's status was later upgraded twice... to MIA in 2001
and to Missing/Captured in 2002.
President Bush has even stated that more than just Speicher remain
unaccounted-for from the first war with Iraq. His remarks last
National POW-MIA Recognition Day - "Nearly 60 years after the end
of World War II, the fate of more than 78,000 Americans who fought
in that conflict remains unknown. More than 8,100 from the Korean
War are missing, more than 120 from the Cold War, more than 1,900
from the Vietnam War, and three from the Gulf War. These
Americans, who dedicated their lives to preserving and protecting
our freedoms, will never be forgotten."

U.S. GOVERNMENT EFFORTS: Since the fall of Saigon in 1975, the
U.S. Government has acquired 22,869 reports possibly pertaining
to Americans in Southeast Asia:
SUMMARY OF REPORTS FIRSTHAND LIVE SIGHTINGS - 1989
HEARSAY SIGHTINGS REPORTS - 5288
CRASH/GRAVE SITES - 5797
DOGTAGS - 9795
TOTAL - 22869
a. Of the 1989 firsthand reports received since 1975, 1942
(97.64%) reports are resolved.
• 1341 (67.42%) reports were equated to Americans who are
accounted for (i.e., PW returnees, missionaries, civilians
jailed at various times for violation of Vietnamese codes).
• 45 (2.26%) reports were correlated to wartime sightings of
military personnel or pre-1975 sighting of civilians who remain
unaccounted for.
• 556 (27.95%) reports were determined to be fabrications.
b. The remaining 47 (2.36%) unresolved firsthand reports
represent the focus of the U.S. Government analytical and
collection efforts:
• 43 (2.16%) pertain to Americans reported in a captive
environment. • 4 (0.20%) reported sightings of Americans in a
non-captive environment (i.e. working as truck drivers; married
with Vietnamese family).
c. Since mid-1982, 9795 Òdog tagÓ reports have been received on
over 10,000 names.
• Generally speaking 93% of those names reported are individuals
who returned to the U.S. alive
• 5% correspond to U.S. remains that have been
recovered/identified and buried in the U.S.
• and 2% relate to individuals who remain unaccounted for.
d. In all instances, dog tag reports receive thorough
investigative attention, to include informing the military
services of those reports with valid names so next of kin can be
advised as appropriate.
The following timeline presents an overview of unresolved
firsthand sightings by the year of the sighting:
