Oakley Ferrell Vance, the closest living relative and next of kin to U.S. Army Pfc. Mose E. Vance, emotionally approaches the flag-draped casket containing the remains of his family member. Pvt. 1st Class Vance was killed in action in France in January 1945 during World War II. The Vance family worked with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency to identify Vance’s remains after being interred, unidentified, in France, for nearly 80 years. Upon his return home, Vance will be laid to rest at the Vance Cemetery in Paynesville, West Virginia. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Ariana Shuemake)
