Source: The motto of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, tasked with the unenviable duty of identifying remains of lost soldiers -- including the body of Airman Leo Mustonen, who was lost in a training accident in November 1942. Mustonen's frozen body was discovered 63 years later on California's Mount Mendal glacier, and scientists at JPAC positively identified his remains from DNA evidence and physical similarities last week. Thanks to their efforts, Mustonen will soon return home to Minnesota, where he will be buried near his mother and father.
