We extracted the neutral hydrogen absorption spectra of supernova remnants W44 (G34.7-0.4) and 3C 391 (G31.9+0.0) from the VLA Galactic Plane Survey data. The revised distance of W41 is about 3.3 kpc replacing the previous 3.0 kpc. Further, we confined the distance of G31.9+0.0 to about 7.2 kpc due to its interaction with its surrounding molecular clouds.
