Mullaney, 18, was assigned to the destroyer USS Glennon in the summer of 1944, the Defense POW\/MIA Accounting Agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpaa.mil\/News-Stories\/ID-Announcements\/Article\/4290843\/sailor-accounted-for-from-world-war-ii-mullaney-j\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said in a news release<\/a>. The Glennon participated in D-Day on June 6, 1944. Two days after the invasion, it struck an underwater mine off the coast of France. The ship became trapped and could not be towed to safety before it was struck by a German artillery barrage on June 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ship sank after being hit by the German barrage. Mullaney and 24 other sailors were recorded as missing. Mullaney was declared non-recoverable in May 1949, just under five years after the ship&#8217;s sinking. His name was recorded on the Walls of the Missing at Cambridge American Cemetery in England. He was awarded the Purple Heart, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes-tribune.com\/obituaries\/jerome-martin-mullaney-scranton-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to an obituary published<\/a> in late August.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/03\/b63aa041-071b-4596-98d2-5f54eff82ce8\/thumbnail\/620x992\/edd54d57b43f6ebdf892d444aca0fb42\/250902-a-aa123-1003.jpg#\" alt=\"250902-a-aa123-1003.jpg \" height=\"992\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/03\/b63aa041-071b-4596-98d2-5f54eff82ce8\/thumbnail\/620x992\/edd54d57b43f6ebdf892d444aca0fb42\/250902-a-aa123-1003.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/03\/b63aa041-071b-4596-98d2-5f54eff82ce8\/thumbnail\/1240x1984\/172a4eaf60b4eda793975e234900604a\/250902-a-aa123-1003.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">An illustration of U.S. Navy Reserve Seaman 2nd Class Jerome M.

The agency conducted dozens of searches off France&#8217;s coast, the DPAA said. By 1951, the agency had identified the remains of five sailors from the USS Glennon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 1957, salvagers in St. Marie du Mont, France pulled pieces of the USS Glennon to shore. The pieces were broken down for scrap. A local resident found human remains in a large section of wreckage from the front portion of the ship, the DPAA said. American officials from the Army mausoleum in Frankfurt, Germany, then took possession of the remains and designated them as X-9296. Efforts to identify the remains failed, and they were interred at the Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium in March 1959.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, DPAA historians began new efforts to account for the sailors who died aboard the USS Glennon. In August 2022, the X-9296 remains were exhumed from the Belgian cemetery and transferred to the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/memorial-day-fallen-soldier-identified-marcus-engesser\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">DPAA&#8217;s laboratory<\/a><\/span>.
