Everybody deserves a proper burial. That’s especially true for those who gave their all in the service of this nation.

How many flights were lost in Indonesia during WWII? Are there any statistics on that?
I’m glad they’re back home.
Welcome home brothers. Rest IN Peace.
Welcome home…..
That’s wonderful that they are home. However, I have no faith in JPAC any more. The latest article I read shows that they are refusing to ID some soldiers. That place is in desperate need of a shake-up.

I have a suggestion,Lobster. Sign up for a tour of duty at JPAC/Central ID Lab see if you can’t change that view you have of them and improve the system they operate under.
Welcome home, troops. RIP!
Sleep well.
