1/25/2011 - Honor Guard members from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, participate in the funeral ceremony for Col. James Dennany and Maj. Robert Tucci Jan. 14, 2011, at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery. More than 41 years ago, Colonel Dennany and Major Tucci were escorting an AC-130 gunship on a night strike mission when their F-4D Phantom was downed by anti-aircraft fire. A search was conducted afterward, but revealed nothing. No other search was initiated due to heavy anti-aircraft fire in the area. In 1999, officials in Laos turned over crew-related equipment, two .38 caliber pistols and human remains. Scientists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command used circumstantial evidence and forensic tools to identify the remains. According to the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office, there are still 1,713 U.S. service members still unaccounted for from the Vietnam War.
