SOCOM helped solve the mystery of the long-forgotten ashes of a Vietnam War hero. His cremains will be interred today.
Contained in a 10-inch-high, purplish urn that was kept for many years on the mantle of a St. Petersburg, Florida home, the cremains were those of Albert L. Mitchell, a decorated Green Beret who served three tours during the Vietnam War and retired in 1978 as a major after 20 years in uniform.
