A World War II veteran from North Texas was shot down nearly eight decades ago. Now, he's finally returning home to be buried with his family.
- If you visit this small family cemetery in Quinlan, an hour east of Dallas, you'll see a marker for Frank Ardith Norris.
"There was always that wonder in the family, I think, for my grandmother and grandfather, and yes, we always wondered if he was in Romania. We suspected he was, but we just didn't know exactly where," recalled Steve.dpaa.mil Norris was posthumously awarded most of the eight medals his family now cherishes, but they had to bury an empty casket with the fading hope that the Army would someday find his remains.
"He's not forgotten. It's an amazing story. We can't give the Army enough credit; they've just been spectacular," Steve said.
