An unidentified soldier from World War II has finally been revealed to be a resident of Dallas.
For decades, his family members sent letters to the military asking for updates.
“It was a very prominent discussion in my time,” said Monzingo. “Probably most people just thought it was gone forever.”In 2017, 80% of Lt. Lewis's remains were exhumed in Belgium and brought to a lab in Nebraska for DNA testing where Monzingo says two maternal relatives were a match.“It was, I guess, elation somewhat, I was very happy. Then there's sadness because the ones that were so – like they're son - they're gone,” said Monzingo.
Monzingo said Lt. Lewis will be laid to rest alongside his mother and many relatives at Old Saltillo Cemetery in Hopkins County. The ceremony is planned for July 2023 during an annual Memorial Day celebration at the cemetery.She said she hopes the story gives hope to families of all veterans who remain unidentified.
