Did you know that from the moment his remains were recovered, the Air Force officer eventually buried in the Tomb of the Unknowns was known to be 1st Lt. Michael Blassie? So how did he come to be later identified as X-26 and designated the Vietnam War's Unknown Soldier? If you listen to this week's episode, I will discuss just that.

This week’s Ghost of Arlington are:

  1.  The Vietnam War Unknown Soldier
  2. Air Force First Lieutenant Michael J. Blassie (St. Louise, Missouri)
