"Thank God, my brother is coming home." Bette Charney spoke in a voice shaking with controlled emotion in the wake of a Pentagon announcement that remains of her brother, Capt. Lawrence H.Golberg, had been positively identified.
Graveside funeral services are scheduled Sunday in Duluth. Golberg was 33 when he the F4C Phantom jet he was piloting was shot down over North Vietnam Aug. 6,1966.
It was 10 years before his death was confirmed by the North Vietnamese government. Then, last March, the family was advised his body was one of 11 returned then. But that identification turned out to be erroneous, and the family resumed its vigil. No more bodies were released until Sept. 30, when a U.S. delegation went to Hanoi to accept the remains of 20 Air Force and Navy fliers, plus one civilian. They were taken to the U.S. Military Center in Honolulu for identification.
This time, to prevent another error like the one in March, no names were released until all the remains had been positively identified. Other area men whose bodies were among those identified were Air Force Maj. Clyde D. Dawson of Fond du Lac, Wis., and Air Force Capt. Samuel Fanlle III, Sioux Falls, S.D.Golberg, formerly of Cloquet, was a 12-year veteran of the Air Force when he was shot down. He had been in Vietnam five months. In addition to Mrs. Charney (sister), who lives in Golden Valley, Golberg is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Golberg of Dululh; his widow, Margaret, of Columbus, Ohio; two teen-aged children, and a brother, Ralph, St. Louis Park, Minn. Mrs. Charney has been active in the National League of Families, a group which has pressed for the return of all bodies of U.S. servicemen missing in Southeast Asia. "I am relieved that his remains will be buried in this country," Mrs, Charney said in a telephone interview. "And-- speaking for our entire family -- I'm only hoping that the Vietnamese government will be humanitarian enough to account for all missing Americans in Southeast Asia." "The whole thing is that we want all of these men accounted ,"she continued. "I wish we could wake up our government leaders and the Vietnamese leaders and come to a conclusion and end this conflict." Defense records show 702 military personnel still listed as missing, with 1,803 presumed dead whose bodies have never been recovered.
