Little Rock Air Force Base honor guardsmen fold a Unites States flag during a repatriation ceremony held in Fayetteville, Ark., June 9, 2012. Capt. Virgil Meroney III was missing in action during the Vietnam War after being shot down in his F-4D Phantom II aircraft, which crashed while carrying out a nighttime strike mission in Kahammouan province, Laos. Meroney’s remains were identified, May 24, and were returned to his family for burial with full military honors. Four A-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthogs” with the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 188th Fighter Wing also performed a missing man formation during a flyover at the ceremony to honor Meroney.
