SUMMARY:Harey Nichols
DESCRIPTION:Honor Mission\nHarey Nichols\, KIA\nUSA – WWII\nJackson\, Mississippi – 09-05-19\n\n\n\nABOUT THE MISSION: \nPFC Nichols joined the Army January 9\, 1940 as a member of the 33rd Quartermaster Corps. On December 8\, 1941 Japanese forces invaded the Philippine Islands and intense fighting continued until May 6\, 1942 when Corregidor fell. Thousands of US and Filipino Soldiers were taken prisoner\, including many who were forced to endure the infamous Bataan Death March enroute to the Japanese-operated POW camp and Cabanatuan on the island of Luzon\, Philippines. Almost 2\,800 of these POWs perished in the camp. On November 19\, 1942 thirteen American servicemen and one American civilian died from malnutrition and medical neglect while in the camp hospital. These men were buried in Common Grave 717 in the camp cemetery. PFC Nichols was one of these 14 men who had been captured during the fighting for Corregidor and was officially listed by the Army as MIA on May 7\, 1942.\nThroughout history the identification of remains was not conducted using the methods or techniques standard for today’s scientific rigor. Starting in the early 2010s\, repeated inquiries and legal action initiated by a family member\, possibly related to one of the unknowns from Common Grave 717\, resulted in several scientific and historical reviews of the assemblage to evaluate the identification potential of the remaining ten Unknowns. In this process\, it was noted there was a high likelihood of mis-identification of some or all of the original identifications from Common Grave 717 due to co-mmingling. In 2014 the Secretary of the Army granted permission to exhume the ten graves associated with the Cabanatuan Common Grave 717. On August28\, 2014 the remains were accessioned into the laboratory. To date\, DNA analyses have shown that each casket contains the remains of an average of three different individuals.\nPFC Nichols’s awards consist of the Bronze Star Medal\, Purple Heart Medal\,Prisoner of War Medal\, Army Good Conduct Medal\, Presidential Unit Citation\,American Defense Service Medal\, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal\, WWII Victory Medal and Philippine Defense Ribbon.\n\n\nPRIMARY STAGING DETAILS: 09-05-19 \nStaging Time: 11:00  \nJackson Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport\nOld Delta Cargo Terminal Gate\n8100 International Dr\nJackson\, Mississippi 39208\n\n\nRide Captain: \nRoger (Roadranger) Barrett\n601-826-5205\n\n\nSpecial Instructions: \nMandatory briefing 11:30 a.m.\n\n\nFlags & Water:\nFlags will not be provided\nIf you have large bike flags\, please bring them.\nWater WILL NOT be provided\, please bring your own.\n\nSTAGING #2 DETAILS: 09-06-19 \nStaging Time: 16:15  \nColonial Chapel Funeral Home\n3077 Simpson Hwy 13\nMendenhall\, Mississippi 39044\n\n\nRide Captain: \nRoger (Roadranger) Barrett\n601-826-5205\n\n\nSpecial Instructions: \nVisitation 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.\n\n\nFlags & Water:\nFlags will be provided\nLarge Bike Flags will NOT be needed.\nWater WILL NOT be provided\, please bring your own.\n\nSTAGING #3 DETAILS: 09-07-19 \nStaging Time: 08:45  \nColonial Chapel Funeral Home\n3077 Simpson Hwy 13\nMendenhall\, Mississippi 39044\n\n\nRide Captain: \nRoger (Roadranger) Barrett\n601-826-5205\n\n\nSpecial Instructions: \nEscort PFC Nichols to Funeral Service at Calvary Baptist Church\, Hwy 49 Braxton MS\n\n\nFlags & Water:\nFlags will be provided\nIf you have large bike flags\, please bring them.\nWater WILL NOT be provided\, please bring your own.\n\nSubmitted By: Roger Barrett \nPosition: Mississippi State Captain \n\nNote: You do not have to own/ride a motorcycle or be a veteran to join\, and membership is Free.
