Today Captain Scott Speicher's KIA remains have returned to American Soil to be given the send off and honors he and his still mourning family deserve after almost 2 decades of uncertainty and angst...
A Speicher family spokesman said "they are appreciative" and no doubt relieved as much as any family can be in this sad story any way it's sliced.
Here's the Governor of his home state of Florida issued and said upon the soldier's return as well.

Governor Charlie Crist has directed all State and National flags shall be flown at half-staff in Duval County, in the City of Jacksonville and in front of the State Capitol on August 14, 2009, in honor of Captain Scott Speicher.
Speicher's remains landed in Jacksonville today more than 18 years after he was shot down over Iraq in the Gulf war.
He is yet another brave uniformed reminder why removing Saddam Hussein from power while difficult was necessary and only made possible thanks to the blood sweat tears of men and women like again Capt. Scott Speicher, who both gave and today go on giving their lives fighting the evil around the world on our behalf, keeping us both safe and free.
