Hondo wrote<\/a> about the news that Corporal William N. Bonner’s remains had been identified early last month. That blog post attracted the attention of CPL Bonner’s family and they sent us this local news article<\/a> about the upcoming funeral and and the impact on the family and the community;<\/p>\n

Beryl cardinal is William’s sister, and says it has been a painful journey. “He couldn’t find a job so he went into service…he was shipped over right away. Then they brought the news he was a prisoner. He was on the medic ore helping wounded soldiers off the battle field and they captured him. <\/p>\n

The family from the Soo spent a lifetime wondering where William Bonner’s body laid to rest.<\/p>\n

His family learned he died from malnutrition as a prisoner in North Korea– in a place known as Camp 5.<\/p>\n

But this week, the remains of the war hero are finally home..it’s a touching day for many.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Trey Yamashita volunteered to escort Bonner’s remains from Hawaii, to Atlanta, to Grand Rapids… and finally the Soo. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to being a war hero from the korean war back home so it’s a great privilege,” said Yamashita.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
