Moscow -- Memorial service for Albert A. Monnett Jr., 80, will be Thursday at 10 a.m. at Short's Funeral Chapel in Moscow.

He had worked for U.S. Steel in Pittsburgh for several months before being drafted in the Air Force during World War II. He was serving as a navigator when he was captured and held prisoner in Germany.
