Korean War veteran's funeral

People line the streets during the funeral for Korean War veteran Private First Class Glenn Schoenmann in Palmer, Tennessee, January 12, 2013.

With the help of DNA samples provided by his siblings in 2004, the U.S. military identified Schoenmann's remains recovered in North Korea. He was 20 when he died in December 1950.
