Shawn Duane, vice commander, U.S. 6th Fleet, sits with the family of Radioman 2nd Class Julius “Henry” Pieper during a funeral service at Normandy American Cemetery.

Louie’s remains were found immediately, but Henry’s remains weren’t identified until December 2017. The family requested that Henry be buried in Normandy next to his brother.
