Saturday, the remains of Army Pvt. Leonard Kittle finally will be placed beneath it. The shift of a glacier in Alaska two years ago released the remains of a C-124A Globemaster cargo plane that crashed on a mountain near Anchorage in 1952, killing Kittle and 51 other military personnel who were flying from McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, Wash., to Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage. DNA testing in April confirmed Kittle's identity. A full military funeral is set for 10:30 a.m. at the Sunnyside Cemetery in Caney, a town of about 2,100 people in southeast Kansas where Kittle was born and raised. (per Kyle - #46635009)
