Scientists at the Department of Defense are working on giving families of troops who were killed in action some closure.For Brent Stevenson, advances in technology allowed him to honor his uncle.Stevenson ‘s uncle William Bruesewitz died in the attack at Pearl Harbor attack at the age of 26.This month, his family finally laid him to rest 77 years after he died.“Everybody is overjoyed and thrilled that we’re able to do this and very much humbled and honor that we’re able to do it at Arlington National Cemetery,” said Stevenson.Bruesewitz served in the Navy and died during an attack on his battleship, the USS Oklahoma.His remains were recovered, but could not be identified. For decades, he was buried as an unknown soldier. But advances in technology allowed the military to re-examine his remains and finally make a positive identification.“It was surprising. It was a blessing. It was really quite humbling,” said Stevenson.“Every year it is our goal to identify at least 200 of these service members. But we would like to get that number higher if we can find ways to do it,” said Dr. John Byrd, the chief scientist from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.Over the years, Byrd and his team have found new ways to use advanced DNA techniques to identify remains and they continue to make progress.“They have developed over and over again improved extraction protocols that allow them to get DNA out of bones where yesterday they couldn’t,” said Byrd.But Byrd admits the race against time, not technology, can be the biggest obstacle as older generations pass away.“It’s one of the greatest challenges of all and this is how do you find close or closet family members of missing service man from 1944,” said Byrd.Despite the challenges, the mission moves forward to give a name and dignity to thousands of fallen soldiers.“All of this work, ultimately, is being done so that this service member can have his name back and his family will know what happened to him,” said Byrd.“It’s going to bring a lot of comfort to a lot of families just like it has ours,” said Stevenson. 2097

Some 7.5 million Americans in the Great Lakes are under threat of gale force winds and flooding.Don't go in the water. Don't even go near the water.That's the message that authorities are telling lakeshore residents of Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Erie.It's all thanks to a weather system roaring through the region on Thursday and Friday bringing gale force wind gusts and rain to the region.The situation along the lakeshore is made even more dangerous by the water in the lakes being already at near-record high levels. 541

Sen. Bernie Sanders, fresh off his victory in the Nevada Caucuses on Saturday, said on CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday that "it's unfair to simply say everything is bad" about former Cuban President Fidel Castro’s reign over Cuba.60 Minutes reporter Anderson Cooper questioned Sanders on comments he made in the 80s about why the Cuban people did not overthrow the Castro regime. Sanders said during the 80s that Castro “educated their kids, gave them health care, totally transformed the society, you know?"During Sunday’s interview, Sanders said, “We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”Castro overthrew the Cuban government in 1959, and maintained control of the government for decades. The United States cut off diplomatic ties with Cuba shortly thereafter, and have maintained a frayed relationship with the island nation off the southern coast of Florida since, minus a brief cooling off period late in the Obama administration. Those comments drew some criticism from one of Sanders’ top opponents.“Make no mistake: Bernie Sanders’ comments on Fidel Castro are a part of a larger pattern throughout his life to embrace autocratic leaders and governments across the globe,” Cristóbal Alex, a senior adviser for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign said. “His admiration for elements of Castro’s dictatorship or at least willingness to look past Cuba’s human rights violations is not just dangerous, it is deeply offensive to the many people in Florida, New Jersey, and across the country that have fled political persecution and sought refuge in the United States,” Alex added. Sanders’ comments came days after the Washington Post reported that U.S. intelligence services notified the Sanders campaign that the Russian government was attempting to interfere in the Democratic nomination process in Sanders’ favor. Sanders addressed the report on his alleged support of autocratic leaders on “60 Minutes.”“I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Vladimir Putin, not a great friend of mine,” Sanders said. The interview comes during a crucial stretch during the Democratic nominating race. Sanders took a national delegate lead on Saturday, as Biden’s campaign is still looking to gain traction. But as the race shifts to South Carolina, Biden is hopeful that a state where he has consistently led in the polls will deliver his first, and much-needed, victory of 2020, heading into next week’s Super Tuesday contest.

SAN MARCOS, Texas — Much of Sean Makra's life has been a fight.But through the struggle, music has always been there. He served 11 years in the U.S. Army, including three year-long tours in Iraq."It's a really ugly side of life that you have to see, and not just the combat side but just with people in general. It brings the worst out," Makra says.Serving in the military led to Makra having substance abuse problems."I got addicted to painkillers, it's a very common story with soldiers," Makra says. "I ended up in jail, and that was the first time in the whole 11 years that I actually was like, 'OK, I can just surrender here.' "Every Monday night in San Marcos, Texas, Makra and fellow veterans meet to use lyrics as ammunition in a battle often fought away from the front lines."It's so intense because every word and every strum of the guitar is releasing, it's purging, and it's beautiful but it's painful," Makra says.Dustin Welch is the musician who founded this group — 994
