Pilots who crashed in 1955 receive military honors

Chaplain 1st Lt. David Sarmiento gives a speech during a memorial service for T-33A pilots 1st Lts. Richard Theiler and Paul Smith. The fallen heroes crashed 55 years ago, but the wreckage was recently found in May 2009. This sparked the need to hold military honors for the crew members at Dockweiler State Beach and at sea, over 100 feet above the wreckage and three miles off the coast.
