WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Remains of three servicemen missing from the Vietnam War have been identified and will be buried with military honors, the U.S. Department of Defense announced on Friday.
Army Maj. Dale W. Richardson, Staff Sgt. Bunyan D. Price, and Sgt. Rodney L. Griffin were identified by the Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.

All three were assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, and were passengers aboard a UH-1H helicopter en route to Fire Support Base Katum in South Vietnam. They went missing after the craft was diverted due to bad weather, according to the Defense Department.
