Remains Of U.S. Pilot Missing Since '91 Found

- The remains of the first American lost in the Persian Gulf War have been found in Iraq, the military said Sunday, after struggling for nearly two decades with the question of whether he was dead or alive.

At last this family has some peace and they can bring this hero home to rest.
Where I am from in PA a Glenn Zeigler I went to school with was also lost in his fighter jet. I wonder how many more we are missing?
