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.
