SUMMARY:Deward W. Duncan
DESCRIPTION:Honor Mission\nDeward W. Duncan\, KIA\nUSN\, WWII\nAtlanta\, Georgia – 06-06-19\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE MISSION: \n It will be an honor and privilege to provide a Welcome Home\, after 75 years\, to a member of our Greatest Generation: Seaman 2nd Class\, Deward W. Duncan\, Jr.\, who was KIA on January 12\, 1944\, at the age of 19. After 75 years\, his remains will finally be home and laid to rest beside his parents.\n\nSeaman 2nd Class Duncan\, who entered the U.S. Navy from Georgia\, was stationed in Betio in the Gilbert Islands\, following the capture of Tarawa Atoll. On January 12\, 1944\, S2 Duncan was mortally wounded during a Japanese air raid when a bomb was dropped over Betio near his tent. He was reportedly buried the same day in a cemetery in Betio\, but his remains could not be identified from among the remains recovered after the war. In May of 2017\, the independent investigative group History Flight\, in partnership with DPAA\, located a grave site in Betio and recovered human remains. DPAA analysts identified S2 Duncan from among these remains.\n\nThis mission will consist of three parts: Hero Arrival\, Visitation and Funeral/Escort\n\n\n\nPRIMARY STAGING DETAILS: 06-06-19 \nStaging Time: 06:45  \nDelta Air Cargo\n1600 M H Jackson Service Rd.\nAtlanta\, Georgia 30354\n\nMap\n\nRide Captain: \nDoug Smith\n678-644-4491\npgr.dougga@gmail.com\n\nFlagwagon:\nBill “Waterboy” Dowden\n\n\nSpecial Instructions: \nPlease arrive on time.
