Haraldson, a private in the Marines and native of Lincoln, Nebraska, was killed at age 31 on Nov. 22, 1943, while in combat on the Gilbert Islands in the Pacific. He was buried in a mass cemetery with 1,000 other Marines and sailors killed, and his body was declared non-recoverable in 1949. But now, his remains have been located and will return to Iowa for a burial in Fort Dodge with full military honors on June 22.
