LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An Indiana soldier is finally going home 75 years after he was shot down in World War II.

Mills was 29 when he was shot down in combat over Germany in 1944. His remains couldn't be identified, and he was buried in a U.S. Cemetery in Belgium. But in January, he was identified using DNA from his brother.
