In this Oct. 25, 2017 photo, a Fort Leonard Wood Honors Team escorts the flag-draped casket with the remains of Army Staff Sgt. Michael Aiello into Staab Funeral Home in Springfield, Ill. Aiello went missing Sept. 30 1944, during intense fighting near the bridge at Nijmegen in the Netherlands. About eight years ago, the military disinterred a set of remains that were later identified as Aiello. Family members in the Springfield area provided DNA samples to confirm the identity and arrangements were made to transport the remains back to Springfield this week.
