One more US soldier from the Korean War is coming home: South Korea today handed over the remains of an American killed in the early days of the war in 1950, reports the Korea Herald. The remains were found last year on a hill in South Chungcheong Province, and they will be sent to Hawaii to determine the soldier's identity. About 8,000 Americans remain unaccounted for from the 1950-'53 war.
