PRINCETON, W.V. - A West Virginia family said they have been notified the remains of a missing World War II soldier have been found.
71-year-old Ferrell Vance of Princeton said his uncle, Private First-Class Mose Vance, was killed in a battle in France, and was missing in action and later presumed dead. He fought in the battle in January 1945.
ReplyDeleteKudos to the French Non-profit organization who put forth the effort to assist the Vance Family.
PFC Mose Vance, lost but never forgotten. Coming home to a faithful family.
Apparent site of the battle is pretty close to the German border, near Karlsruhe. I imagine the krauts were desperate to defend the homeland. Would that some of us would be as determined to defend our homeland in these troubled times.
ReplyDeleteSome of us will...
DeleteWelcome home PFC Vance, thank you for your service to our once great nation. RIP sir
