Remains of Medal of Honor recipient Father Emil Kapaun identified By KWCH staff | March 5, 2021 at 4:16 PM EST - Updated March 5 at 4:16 PM
WASHINGTON (KWCH) - The remains of Kansas native, Father Emil Kapaun, a man recognized for his ministry and service during World War II and the Korean War, were identified, U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and the Catholic Diocese of Wichita confirmed.
Moran released the following statement after receiving news from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency that the remains of Father Emil Kapaun were identified:
âThis evening I was notified that the remains of Marion County-native Father Emil Kapaun, a priest of the Diocese of Wichita, have been identified. Father Kapaun served as an Army Chaplain during WWII and the Korean War, and was taken as a Prisoner of War in 1951. He continued to minister to Americans as a POW before passing away on May 23, 1951.

When Ray Kapaun’s cell phone rang Thursday morning in his house north of Seattle, he didn’t recognize the number so he let it go to voicemail.
“My wife came out, she goes, ‘You may want to listen to this message,’ ” Ray Kapaun recalled. “‘It s from somebody at Fort Knox about your uncle.”
Ray’s uncle is Father Emil Kapaun, a Medal of Honor recipient who died in a North Korean prisoner of war camp in 1951. He was buried in a shallow grave there.
But it turns out his remains, along with other soldiers, were returned to the U.S. shortly after the end of the Korean War. They were buried at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii, informally known as the “Punchbowl.”
