Through the work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, the remains of Andregg were accounted for in 2017, and his name remains permanently inscribed on the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial.

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.
