The List of Honor to Be Buried at Arlington National Cemetery Today.

These four were the remains discovered in 2001.

CHARLES E. TRIMINGHAN-- 2nd Lt., co-pilot, Salinas, Ca.
ROBERT L. CHRISTOPHERSON-- Tech Sgt., engineer, Blue Earth, Mn.

These remains were recovered in 1949

The only survivor of the crash was JOSE L. HOLGUIN-- 1st Lt., navigator, Los Angeles, California. He will not be buried with the rest of the crew. I was unable to find out where he was buried, buy imagine it was in Los Angeles.

Heroes, All.
