WWII Navy navigator finally laid to rest in hometown

Years of longing and heartache finally put to rest this weekend for one New Madison family.
Harley Edwin Alexander was born in New Madison, Ohio in March of 1922.
He joined the U.S. Navy on August 4, 1942 and served onboard the destroyer USS Glennon during World War II, where he tragically lost his life.
82 years later, his nieces, nephews, and fellow veterans welcomed him back home to the Miami Valley.
