The remains of a Korean War veteran from Texas who disappeared more than 70 years ago are being returned to the state for burial after being positively identified.
The remains of Army Cpl. Marvin D. Actkinson, who was 18 when he disappeared in 1950, were identified in 2021 by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
Lo, There do I see my Father Lo, There do I see my Mother and My Brothers and my Sisters Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning Lo, They do call to me They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla Where thine enemies have been vanquished Where the brave shall live Forever Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death.
Welcome home soldier may you now rest in peace and blessings be poured upon your family.
I have watched one procession of these homecomings. It is a glorious thing to see and the respect shown. Do it once in your life you will never regret it.
Welcome home Cpl. Atkinson, rest in peace sir. Condolences to his family and friends
