Date of death: August 23, 1968
Death details: On August 23, 1968, an RF-4C Phantom II (tail number 66-0466, call sign “Semantic”) with two crew members carried out a solo night reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam.

The aircraft and its crew members remain missing.

Floyd Alexander Roy from Minnesota, Carlton county.
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Unknown
Death details: On July 5, 1950, Task Force Smith, the first U.S. ground element to engage North Korean People’s Army (NKPA) troops, was defending a position north of Osan, South Korea. The Task Force’s goal was to delay enemy forces by blocking their movement down the road south from Suwon to Taejon, which was a major avenue of advance for the NKPA. That morning, the Task Force was engaged by a column of enemy tanks. The anti-tank weapons that the infantrymen employed were ineffective, and a large number of tanks broke through their position. Task Force Smith was forced to withdraw to the south, suffering heavy casualties in the process. Sergeant First Class Floyd Alexander Roy, who joined the U.S. Army from Minnesota, served with B Company, 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division. His unit was part of Task Force Smith, and he was captured by enemy forces on July 5 and forced to march to the Apex prison camps in North Korea. He died of exhaustion and pneumonia at the camp near An-dong on an unspecified day in July 1951. Although he was buried at the edge of the compound, his remains were not identified among those returned to U.S. custody after the ceasefire. Today, Sergeant First Class Roy is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
