Special Agent Timothy Ries, Office of Special Investigations Region Six deputy director, awaits a convoy of vehicles transporting the remains of Col. Eugene Smith from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command facility on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii July 22, 2014. While flying to Elmendorf Air Force Base in November 1952, Smith was lost when his Douglas C-124 Globemaster II crashed into the side of Mt. Gannet in Alaska. The lost crash site was recently found by the Alaska Air National Guard. Smith will be brought home to Delaware via military dignified transfer July 24, 2014 and will receive a burial with full military honors. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. James Stewart/Released)
