It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Private First Class Arthur Aaron Clifton, who departed this life on December 11, 1950, while serving on active duty with the United States Army during the North Korean War. Arthur was classified as Missing In Action(MIA) and later classified as Killed In Action (KIA). His remains were identified in 2024. Born on March 6, 1933, in Los Lunas, New Mexico, Arthur led a life marked by his dedication to his country and his love for his family.

He is remembered not only for his sacrifice but also for the warmth he brought to the lives of those around him.
