Great news for the friends and family of Army Sgt. Joseph Snock. While God knows exactly how, when and where each of us dies, it is very comforting for loved ones to finally have closure GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad.

I pray each day, the lost will find their way. And at their final resting place, is where they will stay. At home there have many years of sadness, and fears. And now they are so happy and smiling through their tears. Another hero has come home, finally, at rest and no more fears.

Gone, but not forgotten! Most countries do not pursue repatriating their deceased Veterans like we do!

One thing the military gets right is working tirelessly to find and account for every last missing man. They are unsung heroes, but their efforts help dozens of families a year find peace and closure.

These are always great news stories. I just had a conversation with my father and law about the units out in the pacific still searching for Armed Forces members lost in previous wars. It's always great when a family finally gets closure.

GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad Anytime we can get a brother home and provide the necessary honors and burial they deserve is a good news story for the country and the families of the fallen.

Always good to know when another missing service member returns home. Brings closure to his family. Hope we find more to bring back soon and lay to final rest.
