We in the military have a code that says we will never leave a fallen comrade. Nile is a fallen comrade and we know where he is. His plane rests in 100 feet of water in the Gulf of Paria between Venezuela and Trinidad. We continue to find and return the remains of those from WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam. Nile remains a true hero and the greatest Hawkeye! He gave his life for his country.
