SAN ANTONIO — The remains of a Green Beret from Texas who was missing in action since 1971 have been recovered and a service will be held Friday for the Vietnam War veteran.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency on Monday announced the remains of 32-year-old Army Maj. Donald G. Carr of San Antonio are being returned to his family. Burial will be at San Antonio National Cemetery.

Records show Carr on July 6, 1971, was on a reconnaissance flight when the plane crashed during bad weather. A ground team failed to immediately locate the crash site.

Carr was declared missing in action.
Welcome home sir. Rest in peace. :patriot:

Never forget the Missing in Action and Prisoners of War who haven't returned home.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Just curious..... was he alone, piloting the plane himself, or did he have a pilot who also might be missing? The article doesn’t say one way or the other.

He was a passenger... looks like the pilot may still be missing.

If you read farther down the page for the pilot, Daniel W. Thomas, his remains have also been recovered. That page starts of with an account of him being MIA, but then later they added another article about him being found. They did not update the original article so you have to dig for further information.
