Episode Details

After 70 years of uncertainty, Corporal Norman Ronald Levesque, an 18-year-old Korean War hero who vanished in action in 1950, has finally returned home to Taunton, Massachusetts — his remains identified through groundbreaking DNA testing in 2018. A solemn yet triumphant procession welcomed him at Logan Airport, as city leaders honored his sacrifice and reminded the community that his service underpins the freedoms they enjoy today. He joins Private First Class Joseph Travers as Taunton’s third hometown soldier brought home through DNA identification — and while closure has come for some, at least 20 other Taunton veterans remain missing, with their families still waiting for answers.
