More than 70 years after a U.S. Army soldier from Illinois died in the Korean War, his remains will be buried next month. Sgt. Howard Malcolm was reported Missing in Action in North Korea on Dec. 1, 1950. According to reports from several freed POWs, Malcolm died at the POW camp in 1951. His remains were among hundreds of unidentified bodies interred at a cemetery in Hawaii, but were positively identified last fall. They will be buried July 11 in Mount Vernon.
