Bill Stewart, youngest son of Air Force Col. Peter Stewart, an F-4C Phantom II aircraft pilot during the Vietnam War, hugs a Veteran during his father’s military honors service at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Winter Haven, Fla., June 18, 2018. Stewart was 6-years-old when his dad volunteered to take another pilot’s place on a reconnaissance mission over Vietnam. His father’s aircraft was shot down in 1966 and was declared missing in action until his remains were recovered by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency during an excavation in April 2018.
