We will then escort him             and his family with LEO escort and with the help of our PGR             Road Guards to American Heritage Funeral Home on Veterans             Memorial Drive in Houston\, Tx.\n\nObituary: Flight Officer Baskett             \, along with his copilot and radio operator\, were declared             MISSING IN ACTION\, then officially KILLED IN ACTION on 28             November 1946. The 3 crewmen were part of the 1305th Army             Air Force Base.\n\nThe C-47 crashed into a jungle             covered mountain slope. Flares were spotted by American and             Royal Air Force search planes but no results were reported.\n\nIn 1966\, a Malaysian cutting             sugarcane discovered the crash site. Reports and photographs             made by the police were relayed to the Malaysian Ministry of             Defense who notified the U.S. embassy.\n\nIn 1985\, the wreckage was             rediscovered by 2 local men.\n\nIn 2009\, locals again             rediscovered the wreckage and photographed it. Finally\, the             report was acknowledged.\n\nA group of researchers from the             Malaya Historical Group\, along with several next-of-kin\,             worked tirelessly since 2012 to lobby to bring our heroes             home.\n\nIn 2015\, during “OPERATION             GANGGA”\, teams from the Royal Malaysian Armed Forces and our             DEFENSE POW/MIA ACCOUNTING AGENCY\, visited the site and             performed a remains recovery mission. About 110 personnel             were involved in this recovery mission.\nSecretary of Defense Ashton             Carter attended the  dignified transfer ceremony in Asia\,             where four Malaysian soldiers handed the wooden box to U.S.             troops.\n\nAfter 70 years\, it is our honor\,             to welcome Flight Officer Baskett home. \nStand down sir.
