In September 1944, the family of Robert Stinson was notified that the 23-year-old San Bernardino airman was missing in combat after his B-24 bomber was shot down over the South Pacific during World War II.

Two years later, the military declared him dead. But his family never got the chance to lay him to rest.

That will change after his remains -- missing 60 years -- are flown to California on Oct. 28 and interred at Riverside National Cemetery two days later.

Better late than never I guess. I hope this brings his family some measure of peace.
