BROKEN ARROW, Okla. (May 23, 2009)--The cremated remains of a Vietnam veteran from Texas, which were found last year in a footlocker at an Oklahoma garage sale, will be laid to rest Saturday.
The remains of Army Pvt. Warren A. Nicholls of Fort Worth will be sealed in a granite memorial bench during a Memorial Day weekend ceremony at Floral Haven Memorial Gardens in Broken Arrow, Okla.
The bench will be placed in the cemetery's Field of Honor with a giant U.S. flag.
The urn containing Nicholls' remains, along with his Purple Heart medal, were found in 2008 inside a foot locker that a Broken Arrow antiques dealer purchased for $5 at a garage sale.
The footlocker also contained the cremated remains of Nicholls' mother, Vivian Nicholls of Fort Worth.
Officials say Nicholls was injured in Vietnam in 1968 and used a wheelchair until his death in 1987.
The footlocker also contained the cremated remains of Nicholls' mother, Vivian Nicholls of Fort Worth.
