A quilt is so much more than pieces of cloth, stitched together. Quilts, stitched together by individuals or groups of quilters, working together, tell stories of community, family, history, culture, traditions, heritage, and in this case, a particularly appreciated DNA analysis. It is thrilling when art and science come together -- as they do in the quilt described in the article. What a joy!  Reference: Owen, D. R. (2024, May 16).

From the News Release: "Nearly 80 years after being declared missing in action during World War II, Army Air Forces Staff Sgt. Henry L. Stevens of Monroe, Alabama, has been identified. "Stevens was accounted for on Sept. 15, 2023, according to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, following several recovery missions in Belgium by a team of volunteers with the University of Wisconsin Missing in Action Recovery and Identification Project and the DPAA."  The article provides information about how Stevens was identified using anthropological, mitochondrial and autosomal DNA analyses and offers unique insights as to how Michael MacLaren, DHA liaison officer with U.S. Special Operations Command, relied on his military background to help with the recovery of the remains.
