As a Vietnam vet I am happy to hear about this. There are so many MIA's from that war. I had friends who simply disappeared and have never been heard from since. I was not in combat per say, I worked on an airbase way down south. But guys who strayed too far from the perimeter came up missing. It was not a popular war for the U.S. so attitudes were different when we all came home. But I am encourged by the people who continue to work to bring our lost soldiers home. And on Veterans Day when I wear my hat I love the people who tell me thank you.

There have been many men and even some women that have been totally lost in wars. . . bodies never being recovered. So glad that Staff Sgt. Lawrence Woods remains were found. His spirit has gone elsewhere, but it is a closure for his family to know.
