Woburn welcomes home fallen soldier, 66 years later

(NECN: Woburn, Mass.) – His remains arrived in a silver casket, draped with an American flag, accompanied by a full military escort and an honor guard, because even after six decades of the unknown, his family and comrades couldn’t forget. The body of Staff Sergeant James Bernard Moore, a 21-year-old from Woburn who went by the nickname “Dinty,” returned to his hometown yesterday, 66 years after he went missing during World War II, with all the pomp and circumstance fitting for a US serviceman killed in action. He will be buried Saturday with the same honors. Click here to read more from the Globe. Boston Globe Deputy City Editor Mike Bello joins NECN for a discussion.
