A bronze rosette was placed next to the name of U.S. Army Air Force Staff Sgt. John A. Tarbert on the Wall of the Missing at the Luxembourg American Cemetery, signifying he has been accounted for.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced Tarbert’s identification on Sept. 10. From Port Deposit, Maine, Tarbert, 24, was assigned to the 703rd Bombardment Squadron, 445th Bombardment Group (Heavy), 8th Air Force in the European Theater during WWII. He was buried Nov. 8 in Schuylerville, New York.

When a missing service member is recovered, identified and finally laid to rest, ABMC places a rosette beside their name on the Walls of the Missing. This rosette, a symbol of eternity, is crafted as a bronze rosemary wreath—a timeless emblem of honor and victory. Encircled by the eight-points of a compass, it signifies America’s commitment, reaching out in all directions to recover their remains from the farthest corners of the earth.

This rosette is one of more than 2,000 that have been placed beside the names of missing service members at ABMC sites around the world. Tarbert’s rosette is the 31st to be placed on the Wall of the Missing at Luxembourg American Cemetery, which includes the names of 371 service members.
