After more than 50 years of waiting, the family of US Air Force Sergeant David S. Price finally buried him in August.
When Lao and Vietnamese communist forces took control of the top-secret CIA installation, Lima Site 85, on a mountainside in northeast Laos in March 1968, the 26-year-old was assigned there.
During the Vietnam War, Price was one of 13 US servicemen and 42 Thai and ethnic Hmong soldiers murdered at the CIA radar station that guided US bomber jets in their raids on neighboring Vietnam and Laos.
Because US airplanes were ordered to destroy the CIA location in order to conceal its activities, it took decades to locate and identify Price’s remains.
