Congressman Doug Lamborn has done what most deemed impossible and added an amendment to the NDAA for the 2022 fiscal year that ensures the USS Arizona Unknowns are IDENTIFIED. Not only that, but that the DPAA allow the inclusion of the private sector to ensure that state-of-the-art technology is implemented in their identification. This addition carries with it the hopes of 85 families, as well as the future use of the private sector for additional identifications on US Military Service members lost in combat areas around the globe. 

We want to thank ALL of you for your help in signing our petition and garnering the interest of multiple parties that helped create this Amendment. We are eternally grateful!
