MADISON, Wis. United States Second Class Airman Edward Miller made his last trip to his final resting place in Evansville on Saturday after being lost for nearly 70 years.
Miller was found and brought home decades after a severe storm crash landed him and 52 other servicemen on the plane in a remote Alaskan mountain range.
On Saturday, Maple Hill Cemetery was filled with Miller’s family, fellow service people, and the community that calls him a hero.
