The American Battle Monuments Commission placed 22 rosettes for service members whose identifications were announced by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in October and November. When a service member has been identified, DPAA releases full details on their recovery after their families have been briefed.

When a missing service member is recovered and identified, ABMC places a rosette beside their name on the Walls of the Missing at the cemetery where they are memorialized. This rosette, a symbol of eternity, is crafted as a bronze rosemary wreath—a timeless emblem of honor and victory. Encircled by the eight-points of a compass, it signifies America’s commitment, reaching out in all directions to recover their remains from the farthest corners of the earth.
