Marine PFC JL Hancock, missing for the past 77 years, finally returned home to Texas Friday.
An American Airlines commercial plane bearing the soldier’s remains landed at the San Antonio International Airport, greeted by two water cannons saluting the arrival. Hancock’s surviving family — including his niece and two cousins with their grandchildren — watched as eight Marines stood at attention as the flag-draped coffin was removed from the aircraft.

I think it is very important to account for everyone that died for this country. My Uncle Jimmy is still buried in Luxemburg, where his Mom wanted him to stay. I have visited him twice. He has never been forgotten. Welcome Home!
