LIVERMORE, CA — Lt. Thomas Kelly of Livermore was honored on Sunday more than seven decades after he was reported missing in action. The B-24 bombardier’s remains were recently found near Papua New Guinea by a group called Project Recover, according to an ABC 7 report.

Scott Althaus, Lt. Kelly's cousin, told ABC 7, "After all these years, we finally have seen where our relative's grave lies and the graves of 10 other members of his crew."

The ceremony to honor the World War II veteran was held at St. Michael Cemetery in Livermore. Read full story here.
