So who was the guy? Seems like they should run his DNA to see if he has any living descendants to really make a more special event out of it.

I'm all with you, but think they should take the time to do it right. Even if they have a positive I.D., that doesn't necessarily hurt what they're trying to do, does it?

You know, they would've run all the unknown soldiers if they had the technology at the time. Guess they figured out the Vietnam guy that way. Do you think it diminishes the sentiment to know who it is?

Have to admit, I got mixed feelings on it, but I would tend to err on the side of certainty...and closure. I mean, think of his family after all these years.
