Korean War Veteran Laid to Rest in Tyler

TYLER — Sgt. Lee Dona Henry, Jr. was finally laid to rest Saturday in his hometown of Tyler at the Evergreen Cemetery. Henry was listed amongst those missing in action by the U.S. military in August 1950 during the Korean War. He was just 17 years old when he enlisted in the Army. Now, 61 years after his death at age 22, his family, loved ones, and friends have finally buried his remains, which were found in a shallow mass grave and identified through DNA sampling earlier this year. Henry’s survived by six brothers and sisters, who tell KETK they never gave up hope searching for him.
