Lost World War II soldier returns home
The funeral for U.S. Army Air Forces 1st Lt. Warren G. Moxley was held Tuesday, July 3, at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Charleston, Mo., over 65 years after he was shot down over Germany. A pilot with the 67th Tactical Recon Group's 107th Observation Squadron Moxley was killed on March 15, 1945, when his F6, a photo-reconnaissance model of the P-51 Mustang, was brought down by anti-aircraft fire. His remains were identified using DNA earlier this year.
