Shue&#8217;s sister Betty Jones  tells The Associated Press that she didn&#8217;t initially believe Army  officials who said her brother had been found.<\/p>\n<p>But she was convinced when they showed her a Zippo lighter, inscribed  with his name, that was found in Laos. Shue hadn&#8217;t been seen since  November 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands are expected to pay their respects this weekend in Concord,  where Shue was born, and nearby Kannapolis, where he was raised.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vietnam-Era Green Beret Finally Returns Home CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 An Army soldier who ended up missing &hellip; <a title=\"Welcome Home\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=23127\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Welcome Home<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":467,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[130,121],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-real-soldiers","category-war-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/467"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23127\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
