    Scott Jefferson, the grandson of 1st Lt. Herbert Tennyson, a World War II pilot, reads a speech during Tennyson’s internment in Wichita, Kansas, June 27, 2025. Tennyson was a Wichita native and joined the military in 1941 as a B-24D Liberator pilot. He was shot down during a mission to bomb Japanese anti-aircraft batteries in the Hansa Bay of Papua New Guinea, March 11, 1944. The wreckage of his plane was not discovered until 2017, and his remains were not identified until 2024. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Paige Weldon)
