I just love it when I read these stories of finding an MIA, who was KIA and now is coming home where he belongs.
The remains of Alexander Bonnyman, killed in action during World War II on the Pacific island of Tarawa, have been found and will be returned to Knoxville for burial. June 29, 2015 WBIR
"It was 90-something degrees on that island and I had shivers, just trying to hold back tears," Bonnyman's grandson told 10News about witnessing the find.
