The agency says Lindquist's remains were among those recovered in 1954 during what later came to be called "Operation Glory."
Lindquist was declared "non-recoverable" after none of the remains could be connected to him. They were buried along with other unidentified remains in Hawaii.
The POW/MIA Accounting Agency disinterred Lindquist’s remains in 2013 and sent them for identification.
