Tuesday afternoon in Syracuse, New York the gate agent informed me that the inbound flight, our next airplane, was transporting the remains of a Korean War soldier who was killed in action in 1950.
Cpl. Elmer Kidd of Seneca Falls, New York died in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. His remains were returned to the United States in 1993. In October DNA tests confirmed his identity.
His 80-year-old sister was there to welcome him home.
