## Resource

After 80 years of uncertainty, Private First Class Edgar Norcross has finally been identified and laid to rest, thanks to the relentless efforts of Patrick Ranfranz and the Missing Air Crew Project. Once lost over Yap Island during WWII, Norcross’s remains were found through decades of dedicated searching and breakthroughs in DNA technology. Ranfranz, who began his quest for his uncle’s plane in the 80s, expanded his mission to honor countless missing airmen across Yap. His tireless work—often done in his own spare time—brings closure to grieving families and underscores the enduring power of perseverance. Norcross will be buried with full military honors at New Hampshire’s State Veterans Cemetery, with a TBM Avenger flyover to honor his legacy. This moment is more than personal—it’s a milestone in the broader mission to bring every lost hero home.
