The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in action from the Vietnam War, have been identified and will soon be returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
He is First Lieutenant James L. Hull, U.S.Air Force, of Lubbock, Texas. He will be buried November 13 at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.
On February 19, 1971, Hull and a fellow crew member were flying a mission near the Laos/Vietnam border when their O-2A Skymaster crashed. Both men died, but Hull’s body was buried in the wreckage and could not be recovered because of hostile action.
Welcome Home, Jim.
