BILLINGS - More than 54 years after he was shot down and killed while flying a scouting mission during the Vietnam War, Lt. Ray Krogman is finally home.
The remains of the Wyoming Airman, who was shot down over Laos on Jan. 17, 1967, at the age of 25 arrived at Billings Logan International Airport just before 1 p.m. Monday.
It was a day that members of Krogmanâs family have long been waiting for and feared may never come.
âGrandma never gave up hope. She passed in â90, but you know they looked for him for a long time and they had ideas, but every time we got a report it was no news. So when that came it was truly a blessing,â says Krogmanâs niece, Kelly Krogman Steindorf, who was six years old when her uncle was killed.
