I did have to look up FOD as a cause of death.
I figured this probably referred to those missing in action, or MIAs as we call them today.
The FOD, according to the Genealogy Trail article stood for Finding of Death. But it went on to say Under Public Law 490.
I lookd up FOD and found it stands for absence of recovered body at least a year after disappearance or Evidence that he could not have been alive.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
