David Quinn of Temple, New Hampshire was killed in action during a battle on an island in the Pacific in 1943.
He was buried there, but his family was told he was lost at sea. An inquisitive nephew he never met followed a lead from a letter written by one of Quinn's friends to Quinn's widow after the battle, and eventually the U.S. Department of Defense found Quinn's remains and identified them through DNA.
