Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (Honor Guard) present the National Flag to the family of U.S. Army Air Forces Tech. Sgt. James M. Triplett during his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, Washington D.C., Oct. 31, 2023. Triplett was killed in action during a large mission to bomb the industrial city Kassel in northern Hesse, Germany. During the mission, the formation of aircraft encountered heavy resistance from enemy ground and air forces, which resulted in the rapid loss of 25 Liberators. Triplett was honored and buried alongside U.S. Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Porter M. Pile, another member of the crew, in a double interment ceremony. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Ashleigh Maxwell)
