Notes

Captain Geerlings remains were recovered in 1989 and identified in September 2005. His remains are interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Captain Geerlings' name is permanently inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing at the Florence American Cemetery and Memorial.

When an individual’s remains have been accounted for by the U.S. Department of Defense, a rosette is placed next to the name on the Wall/Tablet/Court of the Missing to mark that the person now rests in a known gravesite.
