A little-known agency called the DPAA continues to search for the more than 81,600 Americans who remain missing from WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and other conflicts. The Maine Public film, A Solemn Promise, tells the story of a WWII U.S. Army Air Forces lieutenant from Millinocket, Maine laid to rest after almost 77 years missing in action.
