In this March 15, 2017 photo, the remains of Maax Curtis Hammer Jr., sit in Carbondale, Ill., who was a Flying Tiger from Cairo, Ill. They were returned home via dignified transport from Hawaii, where he had been buried for 67 years in a grave marked "Unknown." A U.S. Army uniform, dedicated to Hammer, but without his medals, is positioned near the head of his casket at a funeral home. Hammer was part of the Flying Tigers, a group of volunteer pilots who helped the British and Chinese defend what was Burma and China from the Japanese. (Richard Sitler/The Southern Illinoisan via AP)
