Soldiers from the Fort Polk Military Funeral Honors Detail escort Army Pfc. Harvey Nichols into Calvary Baptist Church in Braxton, Mississippi, for services Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019. Nichols, of Braxton, died in a Japanese prison camp in 1942 of malaria and malnutrition at the age of 27 after surviving the Japanese invasion of the Philippine Islands in December 1941 and the Bataan Death March. Thanks to new DNA testing, his remains were identified amidst 14 others in an unmarked grave and returned home for burial after 77 years. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Scott Tynes)
