Any siblings or relatives still alive to receive this news?

The mother of six strapping boys went to her grave without the answer that has finally reached her two surviving sons 65 years later: the remains of Sgt. Robert Stinson are coming home.

Looks like (2) surviving brothers.

Saw a very brief clip of this on the news. Closure at last, very late, but closure. With tens of thousands still missing and only a handful every year being found and ID'ed, I am afraid most of that generation will pass without knowing just where their loved ones are. Most have moved on and had a life, but a part of them was lost those many years ago.
