The remains of a U.S. soldier from Oklahoma City were returned to his home state nearly 70 years after he was taken prisoner during the Korean War. 1st Class Alfred Bensinger Jr.'s remains arrived Wednesday in a flag-draped coffin at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. The Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency — or DPAA — said Bensinger's remains were among 32 people found near Unsan, North Korea, in 2005 by a DPAA/Korean People's Army Recovery Team, and were identified in July 2017 using DNA. Clayton said his father had no other children, and that his mother died eight years ago. About 7,700 military or civilian personnel remain missing from the Korean War, according to the DPAA.
