Medal of Honor Recipient's Remains Identified 73 Years After Korean War Disappearance

The remains of American veteran Cpl. Luther H. Story, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1951 for his bravery during the Korean War, have been identified 73 years later. The announcement was made during South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's visit to Washington, where he met with President Joe Biden. Story was among 652 soldiers whose remains were disinterred in 2021 for analysis. South Korea has recently increased joint security efforts with the U.S. as neighboring nations attempt to counter China's heightened aggression in the region.
