Remains of Capt. Michael Speicher Found

FoxNews.com is reporting that the remains of Capt. Michael Speicher have been found in Iraq.

Speicher was listed as "missing-captured" as reports came in that he might have been captured during the initial raids during the 1991 Gulf War.

Fox News reported:

Remains of the first American lost in the 1991 Persian Gulf War have been found in the Anbar province of Iraq after a nearly 20-year search, the U.S. Navy said Sunday.

The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology has positively identified the remains of Captain Michael "Scott" Speicher, whose disappearance has bedeviled investigators since his jet was shot down over the Iraq desert on the first night of the 1991 war.

The Navy said the discovery illustrates the military's commitment to bring its troops home.

"This is a testament to how the Navy never stops looking for one of its own. No matter how long it takes," Commander Cappy Surette, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy, told FOX News.
