I would like to see Browns body repatriated to the States, if the USN has not already done so, and a burial with full honours at Arlington. The USN repatriated the remains of the Makin raiders, so I imagine Browns remains, would be afforded the same respect.
on the DOD site, the North Koreans are charging $104,000 (Kor) dollars, per MIA recovery expedition, so there is a precedent in place.
Can it be done?
