Remains Identified as Navy Captain Michael Scott Speicher
Remains Identified as Navy Captain Michael Scott Speicher

"The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) has positively identified remains recovered in Iraq as those of Captain Michael Scott Speicher. Captain Speicher was shot down flying a combat mission in an F/A-18 Hornet over west-central Iraq on January 17th, 1991 during Operation Desert Storm."

The fate of Scott Speicher was one of the "unknowns" from the first Gulf War.

Glad to see he is now home.

RIP Sir.

It's always been one of the mysteries over time. I'm glad the family can now have closure. RIP and blue skies.
