That's a cool article.

It is always nice when someone can be laid to rest, and when a family can have some closure.

From what i understand more airmen are still up there. He was found to the east of me and at 1st i thought he was based at the WW2 base here. I live 2 miles from the base and records show a bomber crashed 100 yards from where i live. It hit an old farm house luckily the crew survived. The Air Guard has the records of downed planes here i wish i could get a copy. By the way the airman found had old coins in his pocket...aa
