BILLINGS - Wyoming native and Vietnam War Veteran First Lieutenant Alva Krogman finally came home after over 50 years.
The odds of making it home alive from Vietnam weren t very good, and every mother who said goodbye to her son knew that.
For Lou Krogman, that statistic didn t matter. She held out hope for her son to come home for almost 30 years. Grandma, til her dying day, wanted to keep her house just so she could have a place for him if he came home, Lieutenant Krogman s niece, Kelly Steindorf, said.
Steindorf was only six years old when her uncle s plane was shot down over Laos. The only way she was able to keep his memory alive was through pictures.
