The remains of Army Pfc. Lawrence Gordon,a U.S. World War II soldier, identified by French scientists earlier this year, are to be interred today (Aug 13th) on the 70th anniversary of his death. Pfc. Gordon was one of two soldiers killed on Aug. 13, 1944, when his M8 armored car was struck by a German anti-tank shell near Carrouges, France. His remains were first interred in an American cemetery as “unknown,” despite the fact that his bloody wallet was sent home to his family and the man killed next to him was identified. Welcome home, Pfc. Gordon and thank you for your service. May your family and friends, finally find comfort and peace.
