Friday, the Heartland honors a WWII veteran missing in action in Japan since 1944

The story is misleading in that in the summer of 1944, PFC Carneal was killed on Saipan which is part of the Northern Mariannas.

“.. his family has chosen to bury him in Kentucky”.

He’s home. I feel so sorry and yet happy for his nephew who remembered his Uncle so fondly. He taught him how to throw a curve ball, came to his games and he remembers hugging all of them before leaving. I can only imagine that it is a comfort to have him buried near their home and to fully know what happened to him. (I say this because I think it is better to know what happened then to have a lifetime of wondering).
