Red, white, blue welcome fallen Pearl Harbor seaman home
Machinist Mate Jeremy Payne posted to the USS Nimitz stands at attention with his son, Maddox, age three, as they watch the casket of Fireman First Class Bethel Walters arrive at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Wednesday. The World War II sailor, posted to the USS West Virginia, died in the attack on Pearl Harbor but was never officially identified. Payne is the husband of Hilary Walters Payne, whose father Patrick Walters is nephew to Walters. He was ordered by the Navy to serve as Bethel’s “official military escort home.” The family was overwhelmed by the show of patriotism shown during the trip from DFW to Bowie, where Walters was to be buried in ceremonies at 10 a.m. in Elmwood Cemetery.
