WWII soldier returned home 80 years later; public services soon
Previous coverage of scouts planting Memorial Day Ceremony flags. DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A soldier who has been listed as Missing in Action for over 80 years will finally be laid to rest here in Dayton soon. WWII U.S. Army Pvt. James G. Loterbaugh, from Hocking (Athens), was M.I.A. since Dec. 1944. According to the VFW Department of Ohio, Loterbaugh's remains have been recovered, identified and returned to his family. A motorcade escort took him from Dayton International Airport to Routsong Funeral Home. 'Welcome home, Pvt. Loterbaugh. God bless,' wrote the VFW Department of Ohio. In the war, Loterbaugh served in Company C, the 774th Tank Battalion. In Dec. 1944, he was a crewmate on a M4 Sherman tank. On Dec. 11 his platoon became separated from the rest of the company during a battle in the Hürtgen Forest (Strass, Germany). By noon, the entire platoon was reported as Missing in Action. The Germans did not report Loterbaugh as a P.O.W. The following year, the War Department issued a presumptive finding of death. Loterbaugh was identified by DPAA from DNA and anthropological analysis. He was accounted for on Sept. 20, 2024. His name on the Walls of the Missing at the Netherlands American Cemetery will now have a rosette to show he has been found. His public services will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, June 2, at Routsong Funeral Home. (2100 E. Stroop Rd., Kettering.) A private, family-only service will be held on June 3. Loterbaugh will receive full military rites and burial at Dayton National Cemetery. To read Private James G. Loterbaugh's obituary, click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Early voting turnout for South Korean president hits 34.74%
May 31 (UPI) -- With three days until the presidential election in South Korea, the candidates are making their final push to replace impeached President Yoon Sook-yeol with more than a third already casting their votes. The two days of early voting ended at 6 p.m. Friday. Of the 44.3 million eligible South Korean voters, 34.74% have voted, according to the National Election Commission. This is the second highest turnout since nationwide early voting was introduced in 2014, according to the NEC. It was 36.93% for the 2022 presidential election. Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung and People Power Party candidate Kim Moon-soo encouraged people to go to the polls early. In the latest poll, Lee led with 42.9% support followed by Kim with 36.8%, according to Yonhap. Lee Jun-seo, of the minor conservative New Reform Party, came in third with 10.3%. "The morale at the Democratic Camp is much more energetic, especially after the historic impeachment trial," David Lee, a Seoul-based journalist, told Al Jazeera. "PPP supporters, on the other hand, are navigating murkier waters." South Korean police said this week they had apprehended at least 690 people over related incidents, according to Yonhap. Lee attended a rally in Pyeongtaek, around 37 miles south of Seoul, on Saturday. Lee said he has been wearing a bulletproof vest and installed bulletproof glass at campaign rallies after threats on his life. He called alleged opinion rigging by a far-right group as an "act of rebellion" that must be held accountable. "How can they be manipulating comments, making fake news in this day and age, and systematically making preparations to ruin the election results," he asked. "Can this be forgiven? We must root it out." On Friday, Lee visited Chuncheon and Wonju in Gangwon Province before heading to Chungju in North Chungcheong Province for his campaign rallies. This marks his first visit to Gangwon during the campaign period. Kim launched a 90-hour nonstop overnight campaign tour across the country. Kim, during a rally in the eastern Gangwon Province, called for the "banishing" Lee from politics. "Lee has been found guilty of lying," he said. "What would happen [to the country] if he becomes president?" Kim said he would be a "clean" president if elected. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court sent Lee's case back to the Seoul High Court for a retrial. They decided the lower court's decision to acquit Lee of false statements during the previous presidential race in 2021. Lee, appearing on cable broadcaster JTBC's YouTube channel, called for a special counsel probe to fully hold accountable those involved in Yoon's martial law bid. "To bring the insurrection to a complete end, all those responsible or complicit must be identified and held accountable," he said.
