In August 2014, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency exhumed comingled remains buried in Plot A Row 12 Grave 195 at Manila American Cemetery with the belief that identifications could be made. DNA analysis and historical evidence were used to positively identify some of the remains as belonging to Pvt. Arthur H. Kelder and Cpl. George G. Simmons. Both names remain permanently inscribed on the Walls of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery.
