Late Homecoming

Thanks to Seamus over at "All Hands" for the tip on this.



On Monday, four of our fallen heroes' remains were returned to the US from Vietnam for burial. The four, killed 38 years ago, were:

Marine 2nd Lt. Heinz Ahlmeyer Jr. of Pearl River,NY

Marine Sgt. James Tycz of Milwaukee, WI

Marine Lance Cpl. Samuel Sharp Jr. of San Jose, CA

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Malcolm Miller of Tampa, FL

Ahlmeyer, Tycz, and Miller will be buried in Arlington in May; Sharp was buried in San Jose, but will be honored at Arlington in May.

Over 1,800 of our heroes are still missing from the Vietnam War.

To read more about these four heroes, go to Reuters.

Our hearts go out to the families of these fallen heroes, and I hope there will come a day - soon - that all the missing who can be are brought home to their families, and all the fallen who are still unaccounted for are brought home to rest.
