RIP Keifer
They must have a body to have him declared deceased.. There's no other way, that I know of.
Considering Fayettevilles deep connections to Fort Bragg, a teary-eyed Darlene Norman says the recognition of Gold Star Mothers and the sacrifice that they have made to the nations Armed Forces is proper along a major North Carolina highway.
This is a military town. Hometown heroes, she said late Saturday morning. Gold Star Mothers are hometown heroes, too. Im excited.
Norman, who is 50 and lives in Hope Mills, lost her son, Senior Airman Keifer Huhman, a year ago after he drowned in a canal in Delaware. Huhman was a 21-year-old with the 436th Communications Squadron when he was reported missing Feb. 10, 2016. Forty-nine days later, a fisherman found the airmans body in a canal in Dover.
Norman was among a contingent of roughly 30 Gold Star Mothers and family members who attended a Gold Star Highway Dedication Ceremony downtown at the Airborne & Special Operations Museum. A crowd of more than 150, and mostly military veterans, came out to listen to a slate of speakers, including two Gold Star Mothers.
