Army Master Sgt. Joseph Durakovich, 30, of Gary, Indiana, accounted for on Nov. 1, 2016, was buried April 10, 2017, in Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C. In late November 1950, Durakovich was a member of Company G, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, establishing a defensive position in Pongmyong-ni east of Kuni-ri, North Korea, when they were attacked by the Chinese People’s Volunteer Forces (CPVF). The Americans were continually attacked as they withdrew along the main supply route to Samso-ri, and they encountered a roadblock they could not break through. Following the battle, Durakovich could not be accounted for and was reported missing in action on Nov. 28, 1950. He was identified through DNA and anthropological analysis and returned to his family for burial with full military honors. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Kristen Duus, DPAA)
