HONOLULU (AP) - Scientists have identified the remains of a fighter pilot
who was declared missing after his jet was shot down over North Vietnam in
1965.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Friday the Joint POW/MIA Accounting
Command recovered the remains of Air Force Capt. Thomas Reitmann in 2009
from Vietnam and in May notified his wife that a positive identification
had been made.

Reitmann's wife, Carol Reitmann Sumner of Waikiki, is to travel to
Arlington National Cemetery next month, where he is to be buried with full
military honors.

Thomas Reitmann was 35 and a native of Red Wing, Minn.
