Naval Aviator Walter Mintus was honored at the Memorial Day Ceremony on Mount Soledad. In 1944, Mintus' plane was shot down over the ocean, but in 2018 his remains were finally returned to his family.
Class Walter “Uncle Bert” Mintus was honored during Mount Soledad's annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday.
On July 27, 1944, Walter Mintus and other service members took off from USS San Jacinto on a bombing mission to Malakal Island, an island in the state of Koror, Palau, which is in the western Pacific Ocean. “Project Recover, when we were going through this and we got contacted, my dad started talking to them and Pat Scannon, who runs it and all the people," Coder said.
