Home At Last....WWll Soldiers Remains Returned After 60 Years.

'To me, my daddy was still alive. He was alive when I talked to him last,'' she told reporters. 'I didn't see him as dead. But all of these years there was this thing in the back of my mind that he might be somewhere alive. … When they told us they had found him, then it hit. Then I grieved.''

Tulie Mae Chastain Swilling, his daughter was a small child when her father died.

Staff Sgt. Berthold A. Chastain finally returned home Saturday from World War II. His remains, arrived at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Saturday morning. A group of Georgia and Tennessee Patriot Guards riders were waiting to escort the soldier home.

The procession, went to Dalton, Ga., where Chastain was born in 1916, and then to Cleveland. Along the way people stood to salute or wave American flags.

Staff Sgt. Chastain could have been buried in Arlington National Cemetery. That was not an option in this case as his daughter wants to keep her father close to her after all these years, and no one can blame her for that.

If you live in the Cleveland, Tennessee area be sure to look at the sky this coming Wednesday and look for that B-52 in the air that will be honoring this man.The memorial will be held on Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at the Ralph Bucker Funeral Home at 1:00 PM. There will be a B-52 bomber flyover at 1:40 PM. Burial will be near Birchwood, Tennessee, not far from where his daughter lives.

Rest in Peace, Sir ..you were not and will never be forgotten.
