A missing Vietnam veteran was interred in his final resting place, having been missing for more than a half-century. His 90-year-old wife and their adult children welcomed him home at SFO Thursday and bid farewell Friday in a place of honor.
"Seeing them finally receive him home and after all these years and just to know they finally have the closure," said Laura Herzog of, a non-profit that assists in getting the remains of the fallen back to their families.
