Notes

Through the work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, the remains of Sgt. Melvin Anderson were accounted for in 2018. His name is permanently inscribed in the “Walls of the Missing” at the Netherlands American Cemetery.

When an individual’s remains have been accounted for by the U.S. Department of Defense, a rosette is placed next to the name on the Wall/Tablet/Court of the Missing to mark that the person now rests in a known gravesite.
