Corporal Jackey Dale Blosser
U.S. Army KIA
Korean War Veteran
30 July 2020
Corapolis, PA / Grafton, WV
The Patriot Guard Riders of Pennsylvania have been invited by the family and the Patriot Guard Riders of West Virginia, to escort then stand in silent honor for Corporal Jackey Dale Blosser, U.S. Army veteran.
Jackey was with the 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division and was reported missing in action December 2, 1950. The Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) attacked his unit during their withdrawal from the Pungnyuri Inlet to Hagaruri, North Korea, during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Jackey’s remains could not be recovered following the battle and after the war, no returned prisoners of war reported seeing him in any camps.
On July 27, 2018, following the summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean Kim Jong-un in June 2018, North Korea turned over 55 boxes, purported to contain the remains of American service members killed during the Korean War. The remains arrived at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii on Aug. 1, 2018, and were subsequently accessioned into the DPAA laboratory for identification.
Blosser’s name is recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, along with the others who are missing from the Korean War. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for.
Jackey served our country with honor, it’s now our turn to honor him.
