My family's journey started on Memorial Day 2013 when I remembered back when I was a boy visiting a family burial plot with a large stone with the image of a B-24 bomber engraved on it. I vaguely remembered that all our family ever knew was that he'd been shot down somewhere over New Guinea. (3/)

Today is POW/MIA Remembrance Day in the US, a day set aside for remembering those who gave their lives for our country in wartime and are still Missing In Action.
As most of you know, I'm a volunteer for Project Recover, a nonprofit that finds and repatriates the remains of American MIAs. (1/)

This coming Friday 9/19 is national POW/MIA Recognition Day in the US. One of my relatives was MIA from WW2 until earlier this year: this past May I and other relatives buried the remains of 2Lt. Thomas V. Kelly, Jr. in Livermore CA 81 years after his death.
He is missing no longer. He is home.
He is missing no longer. He is home.

My relative 2nd Lt. Thomas V. Kelly, Jr. was thinking about becoming a pilot after the war. That possibility ended on March 11, 1944 when a B-24 carrying him and 10 fellow crew members was shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire. He had just turned 21 . Remembering him this Memorial Day.
