WASHINGTON–President Donald Trump released the names of two Army soldiers, killed during the 1950–1953 Korean War, whose remains were among those handed over by North Korea this year in a goodwill gesture.

Trump said the first of those remains identified by the U.S. military belonged to Army Master Sergeant Charles H. McDaniel, 32, of Vernon, Indiana, and Army Private First Class William H. Jones, 19, of Nash County, North Carolina.
