    The bugler plays taps next to the American flag marking the farmer’s field where Second Lt. Donald J. Cotton's A-26B Douglas Invader airplane crashed March 21, 1945. Family members gathered at two recently discovered crash sites on March 21, 2025, exactly 80 years later, to memorialize and remember their missing airmen who were finally recovered.
