PHOTO OF THE DAY: Family and friends of 11 World War II airmen missing in action since 1943 that have been recently identified salute during their group burial ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., on Thursday. On Nov. 20, 1943, the 11 B-24D Liberator crew members took off from Jackson Airfield, Port Moresby, New Guinea, on an overwater mission near the northern coast of the country. During the mission, the only radio transmission from the crew indicated they were 20 miles northwest of Port Moresby but they did not return to Jackson Airfield. The plane’s crash site was located in 1984 inside a ravine in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, where U.S. scientists recovered remains. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
