Body of Navy pilot Michael Speicher (Gulf War 1) found!

About time, too!

Looks like Bedouins buried him after the crash...which kinda explains why he was never found...they never told Iraqi authorities....Saddam certainly wasn't going to be forthcoming even if he DID know where the remains were, although I think parts of the flight suit WERE recovered, just don't remember when ro where from...and who KNOWS where the Bedouins went after that? They're nomadic.

Glad he's back home and his family will finally get some closure....18 years is a long time to wait.

"Captain Speicher?"

"Here, sir."

I guess he's probably the reason Camp Speicher, Iraq is so named.
