I can't even begin to imagime the anguish of families going on for years "not knowing" for sure.

Back in '90 or so, my boss's brother's remains were identified and returned from Viet Nam. He went down in a plane crash, if I remember right. There were big articles in the paper, and a big ceremony was held in D.C. to honor him. She would not go. I gently tried to talk her into going, but she said she couldn't go through the pain again. You could not have kept me away, were he my brother. We each have to deal with things in our own ways.

I would have gone too, as painful as it would be. Like you said though, we all have to deal with it in our own way.
