Hey Guys,
Yesterday I went to a funeral of a relative of mine that was killed about 57 years in the Korean War. He had been considered MIA (Missing In Action), but later found and with DNA testing concluded that it was Sgt. Virgil Phillips (cousin of mine).
The Evansville (IN) Courier had a great article. Here is the link to it:

As well as the Washington (IN) Herald

The funeral was great and it was a great way to close a chapter in this soldier's life. All I can say now is Sgt. Phillips is finally home.
