WASHINGTON – The remains of the first American lost in the Persian Gulf War have been found in Iraq, the military said Sunday, after struggling for nearly two decades with the question of whether he was dead or alive.

The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology has positively identified the remains of Navy Capt. Michael "Scott" Speicher, whose disappearance has bedeviled investigators since his fighter jet was shot down over the Iraq desert on the first night of the 1991 war.

i'm grateful for the navy's determination in finding him, but from what i've read the search was somewhat disorganized. anyway, now he will rest on u.s. soil, & hopefully his family will find solace in that fact very soon.
