The remains of a US airman killed in World War II were returned home to his family in New York City more than 80 years after his death. Air Force Staff Sgt. Nicholas Governale, who died in a 1943 crash in the South Pacific while serving with the 69th Bombardment Squadron, received an emotional homecoming at LaGuardia Airport Friday as generations of grieving relatives gathered to salute his flag-draped casket, NBC New York reported.
