CONCORD, N.H. — For nearly six decades, a Marine Corps sergeant’s family lived under the misconception that his body was lost at sea during World War II. Killed in what has been called the bloody Battle of Tarawa, David Quinn’s remains have been identified and are on their way home to New Hampshire. Five years later, in November of last year, they received notice that the remains were accounted for. The Pentagon’s POW/MIA Accounting Agency says Quinn’s remains will be transferred at Logan Airport in Boston on May 4. There are currently 72,934 service members from World War II still unaccounted for.
