CAPT MICHAEL ANTHONY SEAGROVES

Return to Service Member Profiles

On June 19, 1974, the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI) identified the remains of Captain Michael Anthony Seagroves, missing from the Vietnam War.
 
Captain Seagroves entered the U.S. Air Force from Illinois and was a member of 9th Special Operations Squadron. On June 22, 1969, he piloted an O-2B Skymaster (tail number unknown) that took off from Nha Trang Air Base, South Vietnam, on a reconnaissance mission over South Vietnam. While flying over a heavily wooded area, the plane went down, killing Capt Seagroves and the other crew member. The crash site was not immediately located, and the crew members' remains were not recovered at the time. In 1974, a joint search team located the aircraft wreckage and recovered human remains and personal effects relating to the incident. Investigators were able to identify Capt Seagroves among the remains.

Captain Seagroves is memorialized on Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
