In September 2021, Medal of Honor recipient Father Emil Kapaun was finally buried near his Kansas home, seventy years after his death in a North Korean POW camp. It took years of research and work to discover and identify his remains, and it was the work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) that made it all possible. This group of researchers and academics have devoted their lives to the creed of \u201cLeave no Soldier behind,\u201d and in this first episode of a special two-part series on the DPAA, our hosts speak with Father Emil\u2019s nephew, Ray Kapaun, as well as DPAA researcher Josh Frank to discuss the process and power of what they do.\n\xa0\nGuests:\nRay Emil Kapaun, Father Emil Kapaun\u2019s nephewJosh Frank, Research Analyst, Europe-Mediterranean Operations, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency\n\xa0\nMusic Credits: \n\u201cHome at Last\u201d, \u201cThe Faded Uniform - guitar and strings\u201d and \u201cThe Faded Uniform - guitars only;\u201d Written and performed by Ray Emil Kapaun.\n\xa0\nHas a member of the Army positively changed your life?\xa0Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our\xa0Hooah Hotline\xa0and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA\u2019s Army Matters podcast!\n\xa0\nAUSA\u2019s Army Matters podcast can also be heard on\xa0Wreaths Across America Radio\xa0on Monday at 8 pm Eastern\xa0 You can find Wreaths Across America Radio on the iHeart Radio app, the Audacy app, and the TuneIn app. Search the word Wreath.\xa0\n\xa0\nDonate:\xa0If you are interested in supporting AUSA\u2019s educational programs, such as this podcast, please visit\xa0www.ausa.org/donate.\nFeedback:\xa0How are we doing?
