‘Paul was home:’ Fallen solider’s remains to be buried 56 years after death

Lt. Paul Charvet will be laid to rest in his family plot next to his mother, Anchorage’s Blanche Charvet.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A reunion over 50 years in the making will take place Friday in Mabton, Washington.

“We had closure before on his death. But to have him here now and to be able to put him with the family, that’s really special. That’s really special,” said Lorraine Charvet, Paul’s younger sister. For over half a century, Blanche would receive yearly updates from the U.S. Navy regarding their search and investigation for Paul. Then finally, a clue popped up in 2020.

In 2020, the government of Vietnam turned over what was believed to be Paul’s remains. Then, in March 2021, scientists with the DPAA, the defense prisoner of war and missing in action accounting agency, were able to make a positive identification. After a decades-long search, Paul was finally home.
