Defense Department forensic scientists identified the remains of CMSgt. Edwin E. Morgan, 38, of Eagle Spring, N.C., an airman who had been missing in action since the Vietnam War, announced the Pentagon. DOD returned Morgan’s remains to his family; his burial with full military honors took place on June 27 in Rockwell, N.C. Morgan was the loadmaster of an AC-47D gunship that departed Da Nang AB, South Vietnam, on March 13, 1966, on an armed reconnaissance mission along the Vietnam-Laos border.

Between February 2010 and May 2014, joint US-Lao teams surveyed and excavated the site, recovering human remains, military equipment, and aircraft wreckage that led to Morgan’s identification.
