From the Columbus Dispatch.

Bill Poveromo of Charlotte, N.C., never knew his uncle, John Simonetti — only the stories. Long before Poveromo was born, Uncle John died at age 26 in a French pasture on June 16, 1944, 10 days after the D-Day invasion of Normandy. No one ever found a body, so Simonetti’s parents never held a funeral. They died in the late 1960s. But today, 120 far-flung members of Uncle John’s family will gather at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C., to bury his remains — miraculously found in late May 2009, days before the 65th anniversary of D-Day.

A happy ending to a sad story. Read it all.
