Jackey's remains were turned over by the North Korean government in 2018, but it took a year or more for them to be positively identified.

Corporal Blosser was killed near the Chosin Reservoir in December 1950, but his death was not confirmed until 2019. The US Army changed his status from MIA to KIA in 1953, which is why some records listed his death date as 1953 rather than 1950.

There is an additional Find A Grave memorial for him, 118828893, at the National Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C.

All three of the Find A Grave memorials for him were originally for cenotaphs, but the cenotaph at the West Virginia National Cemetery has become his burial location as of July or August 2020, following the return of his body to the continental U.S. following the identification of his remains in Hawaii.
