Twelve Missing World War II Airmen Identified and Buried-- Part 3

From August 4th My Fox DC.

Charles Durgin and his brother always heard stories when they were growing up about an Uncle Fred whom they had never met. Uncle Fred was Staff Sergeant Frederick Harris, the tail gunner on a B-24 bomber nicknamed the "Shack Rat."

It disappeared during an operation in the Pacific and the family never knew what happened to him until 2003, when a crew member's ID was found in New Guinea in a site so remote that it was not until 2007 that a forensic team was able to get to it.

Yesterday, the remains of the men were buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Section 66.

Never Give Up looking for the MIAs.
