Welcome home finally Hero and now you may Rest in Peace with your family and they can have some closure. It is good to see that we are still looking and finding our MIA's and the families can have them back with them. Salutes to History Flight for making this happen Semper Fi

Welcome Home, Brother. Rest in Peace.

What a relief and a blessing it must be for LT Bonnyman's family to know that his remains now rest, can be visited, and that this Marine can finally be paid his due respects.
