The remains of a local Vietnam War veteran and his crewmates were interred in Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, almost 50 years after the men were declared missing in action.
Warren Newton, an 18-year-old Army staff sergeant from Eugene, died in 1968 while serving as a door gunner on a helicopter flight that was shot down by Viet Cong fighters in Vietnam.
The ceremony honoring Newton and his crewmates was the culmination of extensive efforts from a division of the Department of Defense that is committed to accounting for missing veterans and providing information to their families.
