029 - Bringing Them Home: Army Repatriation with Megan Smolenyak

"No man left behind" is more than a motto to Megan Smolenyak and others who work on repatriating the remains of US servicemen and women whose remains are finally discovered. 

Megan shares insight into what it takes to identify the person and his or her relatives, including what it's like to call a family member to tell them the news. 

Megan also shares three of her favorite cases (out of the more than 1400 she's worked on!), including a Tuskegee Airman, a guitar hero, and a Red Cross worker. 

The show notes have links to articles about the three people Megan highlighted and a collection of digitized letters written by one of them. You can find the show notes at AmyJohnsonCrow.com/29.
