ABOUT US
Mission
Doughboy MIA is a nonprofit foundation committed to the commemoration and accounting of the U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War. Our efforts work to resolve the cases of the missing to the fullest possible extent, including: to assemble and make public the most complete and accurate accounting of the U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War; to attempt to gather back ground information and photographs of all of the U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War; to attempt when and where possible to locate and identify the final resting place of the U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War and to petition those, when appropriate, for the ways and means necessary to recognize and officially identify recovered U.S. Missing in Action remains or grave locations from the Great War, or to otherwise commemorate discovered or identified U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War.
