National Public Radio’s Melissa Block interviews Clay Bonnyman Evans regarding the discovery of First Lt. Alexander Bonnyman Jr.’s remains on Tarawa in May.
Look for upcoming interviews with Clay and Mark Noah, founder and director of History Flight, on ABC News and Colorado Public Radio soon.
The public funeral for Marine First Lt. Alexander Bonnyman Jr., the Medal of Honor recipient whose remains were recovered from Tarawa on May 29 by a team from History Flight, has now been confirmed for noon Sunday, Sept. 27 at Highland Memorial Cemetery in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Bonnyman will be buried in the family plot purchased by his father, Alexander Bonnyman Sr., and where the family always hoped he would be interred. He will be buried next to his father, his mother, Frances Berry Bonnyman, sisters Anne Atkinson and Margot McKeon, brother George Gordon Bonnyman and his wife, Isabel.
Further details will be announced at a later date.
I am out wandering the wild for a month, but am in town. I wanted to post links to excellent pieces about History Flight’s amazing work in recovering Alexander Bonnyman Jr. here while I have a few minutes online.
We are most grateful for all the excellent work by journalists on this story.
Looking forward to speaking with Colorado Public Radio, Radio New Zealand and more, soon.
