On American Soil: 70 Years Later, a Korean War Hero is Laid to Rest
 
23 May 2021
Chattanooga Times Free Press, Tenn. | By Patrick Filbin

With the sound of over 40 motorcycles revving their engines at full throttle, Evelyn Snyder sat quietly in the front seat of a vintage hearse with her brother, finally home, in the back.

Snyder stared stoically ahead waiting for her driver. It's been a long 70 years since she and her family felt closure.

Snyder's brother, Army Cpl. Henry L. Helms — with an American flag draped over his casket — was back on American soil.

"It's a most wonderful thing," Snyder said from the front seat. "It's truly an honor to have all these people come out today. It's outstanding."
