Remains of First U.S. Gulf War Casualty Identified: Capt. Scott Speicher - Video 8/2/09 + Tribute Video

Here is a video report on the news that the U.S. Military has identified the remains of U.S. Navy Captain Scott Speicher, who was shot down over Iraq at the opening of the first Gulf War in 1991. His remains had never been found, and some had speculated he could be alive somewhere in Iraq, or that he had been held by the Saddam Hussein regime.

Apparently an Iraqi in Anbar Province came forward and told U.S. officials that they knew where an American pilot was buried. The skeletal remains were found, brought back to the U.S., and testing has confirmed the remains are that of Captain Speicher.

Below is a video done by the Military Channel on the case of Scott Speicher. It is very moving:
