My deepest sympathy to your family. I wanted you to know many of days and hours many people prayed for your brother Doug, i have no doubts. I have followed national league of families and have seen many families reunited with their loved ones.. so when I read of Doug's returning home, I then prayed for your family to finally have the peace you need.. may you know Doug will never be forgotten and i hope to be able to welcome him home and share a precious hug with you.. May you be surrounded in love during these difficult days ahead.

I don't know what to say but to say thank him for his service to our Country.Prayers for the family
Just wanted to express my love and appreciation to all our military members present and past. I'm glad to know your loved one has finally come home to rest.
Wish to celebrate with the family on the return of their hero family member.
Im not sure how to say this. But, another great american comes home. I thank him for his service and wish comfort and peace to his family.
To Phyllis and Family:
Your Mother often told Mom that she would never give up believing that Doug would come home. It is just amazing that after 66 years they could identify him. I can remember his white hair and Bobby, David & Dukie all resemble him.
Phyllis, our deepest condolences. I was very awestruck reading this. May you all find peace.
Gina Cushman, Du Quoin
