Dear moderators - could you please post this story in the appropriate forum/format:

April 30, 2011
Associated Press

"CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- No one had seen Sgt. 1st Class Donald Shue since he was on a mission in Laos during the Vietnam War in November 1969, so his sister was skeptical when Army officials called a few months ago to say his remains had been found.

"I said, 'No you didn't. I don't believe it. It's been 42 years. You don't have any proof of that,'" his sister Betty Jones told The Associated Press. Then they revealed the clue that identified Shue: a Zippo lighter with his name inscribed on it."

With all the well-placed celebration about Bin Laden, this important story should not go un-noticed.

Rest in Peace, SFC Shue

My husband is doing a flyover for a soldier who they recently found in Vietnam, and wanted to learn something about him. Does anyone know if Sgt. Shue is being honored in Birmingham, AL today?

Not sure what is happening in Birmingham today, but here are a few inks to the homecoming stories over the past few weeks regarding Sgt Shue:

Thank you. It doesn't sound like it is him. We'll find out more after the service today.

I'm so glad these families are starting to get answers after so many years.
