Body of Soldier Killed in Vietnam War Returned

The body of a Texas soldier missing in action from the Vietnam War has been identified and returned to his family in Howe for burial with military honors, the Pentagon said.

He was identified as Chief Master Sgt. Luther L. Rose, a gunner whose plane crashed in Laos in 1966.

The remains of Rose and other crew members were recovered by a joint U.S.-Laotian excavation team and underwent forensic tests at the military laboratory in Hawaii.
