WASHINGTON, D.C. (WZMQ) – A Marquette County solider who was killed in the Korean War will finally have a proper burial in Washington D.C.

Army Corporal Gordon D. McCarthy of Palmer was reported missing in action Dec. 2, 1950 after his unit was attacked by enemy forces from North Korea. He was only 20 years old. Following the battle, his remains could not be recovered.

Seventy years later, McCarthy’s remains were turned over by North Korea on July 27, 2018 and were identified using DNA analysis earlier this year.

McCarthy will be interred Dec. 14 in Arlington National Cemetery. Graveside services will be performed by Everly-Wheatly Funerals and Cremation, Alexandria, preceding the interment. WZMQ will have a reporter at those proceedings in Washington, D.C.

His name, recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, will have a rosette placed next to it to indicate he has been accounted for.

More than 7,500 Americans are still unaccounted for from the Korean War.
