For close to three decades, Project Recover has been searching far-off oceans and jungles of the Pacific for Americans missing in action (MIA) from our Nation's previous conflicts, including WWII in the Pacific. The goals of these efforts are to provide closure and answers to the millions of Gold Star family members that have waited decades to learn what happened to their loved ones. The team has located more than 50 US World War II aircraft associated with more than 185 MIAs in missions around the globe. Join Project Recover Lead Historian, Dr. Colin Colbourn, and President and CEO, Dr. Derek Abbey, for an overview of how they solve these mysteries and the impact created on American families and communities when they do.
