Wow. Welcome home, Swanee. And now rest in peace.

And Thank You to all those (whoever you may be) involved in recovering his remains after all these years.

[Many good men were lost over the infamous, Mu Gia Pass.]

Lot of great, dedicated folks working at the Joint Personnel Recovery Center (I think that's the current name...) in Hawaii. Used to be called Joint Task Force FULL ACCOUNTING in years past.
