PHNOM PENH, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- The remains of a U.S. serviceman missing in Cambodia from the Vietnam war were identified and will be buried in the U.S. state of Arkansas, the U. S. embassy said on Tuesday.
Army Maj. Dale Richardson, 28, was aboard a UH-1H Huey helicopter which was en route to Fire Support Base Katum in southern Vietnam on May 2, 1970, when it was diverted to Cambodia due to bad weather.
"After flying into Cambodian airspace, the aircraft came under heavy enemy ground fire, causing the pilot to make an emergency landing in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia," the embassy said in a statement.
