<p>[QUOTE="GrimReaper, post: 1258955, member: 2584"]Guys this gives me chills to the bone , but a wonderful story !! This is the brother of a close Family Friend and I just wanted to share with you guys . Soldiers remains will be laid to rest Sept. 26th , 2011 ...., 45 Years to the day after being shot down on Sept. 26th , 1966 . It has been a tough time for the family not knowing all these years whether he was a P.O.W. , lost , dead or what and this has brought some much needed closure for the family . </p><p> The helicopter was shot down and him being the gunner had fallen out and pinned underneath where he had died . Long story short chopper was seen going down by a village woman and reported it then and years later now . There was one survivor (Pilot) , one or two others were recovered from wreckage and then the brothers remains (Gunner) who now is returning home !! Would have been better if he would have came home alive but at least he wasn't tortured as a P.O.W. for 45 yrs . Anyway I thought some of you would like to hear about this .</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.wsmv.com/story/15382261/soldiers-remains-returning-to-tennessee" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wsmv.com/story/15382261/soldiers-remains-returning-to-tennessee" rel="nofollow">Linky</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank You for Your Sevice , Past or Present !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
