1950 – 1975
Vietnam is settled:
Korea cannot be closed from the same lists: The federal Korean casualty file gives the Army's dead by county, not by town — St. Joseph County's forty-three stand in the wars file — and no official list of that war divides by next-of-kin town as the Navy's Second World War summary did. What the record proves for Mishawaka stands in the wars file and stands here by reference: 2nd Lt. Edwin Tabaczynski, United States Air Force, killed 20 August 1951, his remains not recovered — the city's own unaccounted-for of that war; Pfc. Joseph H. Veevaete, United States Marine Corps, killed 1 May 1953; and Pvt. Robert F. Maenhout, carried in the wars file as a stated identification between the county veterans index's Penn–Mishawaka entry and the casualty file's county row. The balance of the county's Korean dead — some twenty-nine Army names the file gives at county size — awaits the same joining this section performed for the Second World War, index line against obituary record, and it is named here as the next want rather than half-built. The one post-2001 name, TSgt. Ryan Andrew Balmer, killed near Kirkuk 5 June 2007, stands in the wars and veterans files.
