United States Army Air Forces Staff Sgt. Loring E. Lord, who was killed during World War II and was reported Missing in Action (MIA) for almost 80 years, is finally coming home. Staff Sgt. Lord was part of the crew of an A-26B "Invader" plane that was shot down during a mission over Germany on March 21, 1945. Lord's remains were never recovered. Now, through the diligence and hard work of so many people, including many of his family members and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), his remains have been found and are being returned to his home state to be interred with his parents and sister at Woodlawn Cemetery.
