An American hero from Montgomery is finally home. Army Air Forces Major Peyton S. Mathis made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation when his aircraft crashed in the dense jungles of Guadalcanal during World War II. A rescue team located the crash site the same day, but was unable to recover Maj. Mathis because the aircraft was submerged in a dense jungle swamp. After nearly 70 years, Maj. Mathis remains have been retrieved, and he will be buried next to his family in Greenwood Cemetery tomorrow with full military honors. His service and sacrifice will not be forgotten by our grateful city and a grateful nation. ow.ly/GHHK2
