Information Related to your TWS Remembrance Profile #154006

I am Lt. Beals' nephew and would like to provide an update to this profile. In the spring of 2015, Lt. Beals' crash site was found and excavated, and his remains have been recovered. Although final arrangements are pending, we (his family) plan on having him interred at Arlington National Cemetery.
