My wife is the youngest of ten children. The brother she never knew died when his plane disappeared over West Texas in 1945 on a training flight. In 2000 a rancher found what was left of the wreckage. Of course, there were no human remains.
He, the rancher built a monument made of native stone with a propeller from the wreckage.
The U.S. Army sent a military escort with an empty coffin back to his hometown when the plane was not found.
We visited his "grave" yesterday and took this photo.
