A World War II soldier who was killed in the mountains of France during a German offensive in 1944 has been identified, and his remains will be reburied at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, military officials said this week.
Jeremiah P. Mahoney, 19, of Chicago, was killed on Jan. 17, 1945, in the Vosges Mountains of France during a weeks-long battle.

He was buried in his home town of Gordon (Texas y’all).
It’s very sad that he has been “unknown” for so long. Thanks to those who did the identification and brought him home.
Nice story. Thanks for posting.

He gave his life for a country that we are sitting and watching the Demon party steal. They stole the presidency four years ago and they stole the justice system as well. We owe this soldier…
Rest in Peace Pvt. Mahone you stood your post. Welcome home.

Above is a song written by a local Christian artist about his discovery of a small WWI American cemetery in France as he jogged along a lonely dirt road. Most of the crosses on the graves were marked “Unknown”. The song is a tribute to those that sacrificed everything.
********************
And the seasons change
and the years unwind
and the colors fade
and the questions fill my mind.
Isn’t there a father somewhere
Mother, daughter, sister somewhere
wishing they would soon come home?
Someone knew their hopes and dreams
To someone their name meant everything
so why do they remain unknown?
**********************
At the end of the song:
I know that there’s a Father somewhere
and He’s watching all from somewhere
knowing we will soon come home
He knows all our hope and dreams
He loves us more than anything
and we will not remain unknown
