BELLFLOWER, Calif. (AP) — The remains of a formerly missing U.S. soldier have been returned to California nearly 65 years after he is thought to have died, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported.
The remains of Army Cpl. Robert V. Witt, a 20-year-old Bellflower man missing since the Korean War, were returned earlier this week to his sister Laverne Minnick, 82, the paper reported (http://bit.ly/1S3ISD6 .)
Minnick, who lives in Huntington Beach, told the newspaper: "I am so happy. He's going to be home, where he belongs, with his family."
Witt will be buried with full military honors at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier on Friday.
