The US military has found the remains of the last American still officially missing in action from the Gulf War.

Capt Michael Scott Speicher, an F18 pilot, was shot down over Iraq on the first day of the war in January 1991.

Last month, an Iraqi citizen took US marines, based in Anbar Province, to the crash site. He told them where the remains had been buried in the desert.

Subsequent excavations recovered bones and bone fragments. Capt Speicher was identified through his dental records.


HIS EARTHLY REMAINS WILL BE BROUGHT HOME.

HIS SPIRITUAL REMAINS HAVE BEEN HOME FOR 15 YEARS.

RIP.
