Another Now Rests at Peace
Can’t add much to Jonn’s excellent prior post here. Except to say we’ve brought another home.
Captain Clyde W. Campbell, USAF, was lost in Laos on 1 March 1969. His remains were found by a Joint US-Lao recovery team in 1997. Additional personal equipment, including his pistol, was recovered on a later trip 2009-10. His remains were finally positively identified.
Captain Campbell was buried in Arlington National Cemetery yesterday.
Welcome home, Captain. We wish we’d been able to bring you back to rest among your brothers in arms sooner. But you’re home now. Rest in peace.

Thank you for the update. Well said.
Welcome home, brother.
Welcome home, RIP.
Amen.
Amen. Gig Em Aggies sir!
Thank you, CPT CAMPBELL, for your Good Fight.
Thank you, Hondo .
Almost 40 years after end of combat operations in Vietnam, the U.S. wants to forge a strong economic/military partnership w/ Vietnamese gov’t. Secy Def. Leon Panetta was in the country for high level talks. News reports point to possibility of U.S. bases being established in near future. Does this accelerate the recovery of the many still unaccounted for serviceman?
I once spent some time talking to a biological anthropologist who works on the teams working to identify remains (before the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command was established- she worked for the Central Identification Laboratory at the time). It was very interesting to listen to her speaking about what she does and her respect for the veterans she was working to identify was clear.
