Jul. 28--U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Thomas R. Yenner is nearing the end of his long journey home.
Yenner was killed in a plane crash in Holland during World War II, nearly 63 years ago. The remains of Yenner and four others who died in the crash, were interred in a mass grave in Kentucky in 1950. They weren't positively identified by the U.S. government until recently after a Dutch citizen discovered more remains. The identification was made with the help of surviving family members who submitted DNA samples.
