There was a somber welcome Monday for a soldier who never made it home. Members of the VFW saluted as remains of a service member, killed in World War II, arrived at Eppley Airfield. VFW Post 1581 members attending were Dr. Steven Youngberg, Tom Bizzarri and John Liebsack.

The soldier has been in a cemetery in Germany for decades. Scientists at Offutt will work to identify the remains and return that fallen soldier to family.
