Oh my gosh!! We are John Daniel Yeager's nephew and niece. We still live in New Kensington and were so happy to hear of your inquiry regarding John Daniel Yeager. Please feel free to e-mail either one of us at [EMAIL="gclaassen@verizon.net"]gclaassen@verizon.net[/EMAIL] or [EMAIL="bjsmith008@gmail.com"]bjsmith008@gmail.com[/EMAIL] . My phone number is 724-335-3857 or 724-335-2367. We are willing to give DNA if needed to identify remains. Hope to hear from you soon.
My mother called me today in how to get set up and reply after my cousin Bernie called and told her he found this post. I live in South Carolina, but was born and raised in New Kensington. I set her up with an account named Yeager so she should be replying soon.
My mother Marilyn and my cousin Bernie will be thrilled to hear from you and get you what you need. We have photos of him hanging up at my parents house. Both my mother and Bernie still live in New Kensington as well.
It's cool that the other poster tried to help you out, but New Kesington is nowhere near Philly. It about 20 miles North East of Pittsburgh, PA.
If you don't get a reply from my mother "Yeager", due to not being PC savvy then you can go through me.
After all this time we may finally get some answers and properly lay him to rest with family.

Hi, Marilyn....SO GREAT to hear from you and James. My dad, who was in the VMB 423 squadron is going to try to call you tonight.
This is SO WONDERFUL. I'll probably be sending you an email later as well to try to give you some info and maybe ask some questions.

James, we are so excited!!!!
So much time has passed that we feared it would be an insurmountable task to locate relatives now. Amazing!!! As I replied to your Mom's post, my dad is going to try to call her tonight. Wish you could be there to listen in as well since you were the one who set her up to post here. If you don't mind sending me your email, I'll send you copies of what I send her as well. It may take us awhile to get our wits together now because we're SO SURPRISED AND THRILLED!!!!!!!!!
I am Daniel (Dan) Harkins nephew of John (Jack) Daniel Yeager. Marilyn Claassen is my sister. I can't begin to express my gratitude for your efforts. I am ready to do anything I can to end Jack's 64 years as an MIA. The info sent to Marilyn was sent to me. I already love the new family.
Thanks again and again.
