Notes

2nd Lt. Horwitz’s remains were identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in 2017. His name is permanently engraved on the "Walls of the Missing" at Florence American Cemetery.

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.
