A brother finally finds his resting place
Mr. Comer You went off to war and not knowing your outcome, Serving your country as a chopper pilot to and from. You left behind your family to never see you anymore, Gave your life how honorable, courage to the core. An MIA for thirty plus years and never any trace, Finally home, a brother finds his final resting place. Jimmy L. Strait Fathers Day 2002 Crewchief 187th
