RUSSELL SPRINGS, Ky. (AP) - The family of a soldier listed as missing in action in Vietnam 36 years ago will bury him this weekend with full military honors after his remains were found and identified.
Pfc. Raymond Edward Bobe, 21, and four other soldiers died March 16, 1969, when the U-21A plane they were in crashed in a mountainous region northwest of the Phu Bai airport, said Larry Greer, spokesman for the Pentagon's POW-MIA office.
Bobe's father, Henry Bobe of Russell Springs, said the identification of his son's remains offered a degree of closure, but he declined to comment further.
