Notes
Through the work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, the remains of Capt. Lawrence E. Dickson were accounted for in 2018. His name is permanently inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing at the Florence American Cemetery.

When an individual’s remains have been accounted for by the U.S. Department of Defense, a rosette is placed next to the name on the Wall/Tablet/Court of the Missing to mark that the person now rests in a known gravesite.
