When Ida Dickens last saw her younger brother, he was waving from the back of a taxicab, a lanky 18-year-old farm boy headed to Korea, a place he knew nothing about. Hoover Jones had enlisted as an infantryman in one of #America’s last segregated units, even though he had never handled a weapon. In his mind, joining the #military was a chance for a better life, an escape from the bitter racism of central North Carolina, Ida tells TIME's W.J. Hennigan. But Hoover soon found himself in a poorly trained unit struggling with equipment that would fall to pieces in numbing subzero temperatures. In a Nov. 17, 1950, letter to his mother from inside his foxhole, Hoover hoped he would be on his way home by Christmas. Nine days later, he vanished. The U.S. Army believed he had been killed in a surprise attack, but his commanders couldn’t say for certain. Last year, #NorthKorea turned over 55 boxes containing remains of American service members killed during the war. Jones' remains were among them. In these photographs: two of Private Hoover Jones’ sisters, Dickens and Elizabeth Jones Ohree, both in their 90s, in North Carolina in February; and Jones lies in honor at the State Capitol in Raleigh on June 21. Read about how cutting-edge science brought Pvt. Hoover Jones home at the link in bio. Photographs by @benjaminras for TIME, @apgerrybroome@apnews
