DETROIT — A Michigan soldier whose body was found in Iraq last week after being missing in action for more than a year will be buried in Texas later this month.
The Detroit Free Press reports Army Pfc. Byron Fouty of Waterford will be buried in a private ceremony at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio.
Fouty's mother lives in Texas.
A public memorial service is to be held in Oakland County later this month.
The remains of the 19-year old Fouty and 25-year-old Sgt. Alex Jimenez of Lawrence, Mass., were discovered last week.
The men were ambushed in May 2007 in a volatile area south of Baghdad known as the "triangle of death." They were listed as "missing/captured."
