Members of the Fairchild Air Force Base Honor Guard and the U.S. Army performed honor and color guard for a funeral service honoring Cpl. Lester Zornes at Fairmount Memorial Park in Spokane, Wash., March 22, 2014. Zornes was flying to England to prepare 82nd Airborne paratroopers for dropping behind enemy lines at Normandy on D-Day. Due to weather instability over the North Atlantic, the aircraft and crew diverted to the alternate route over the South Atlantic when the starboard engine on their C-47 Skytrain gave out crashing and immediately bursting into flames on March 22, 1944. Zornes was 19 with a career in Foreign Service that lasted just 11 days. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton/Released)
