Each year, Carrie Turner attends his family reunion near Mount Olive, North Carolina.

Everybody's catching up on the past year's events and things like that.

This was like 2006.

Me and my brother were sitting together, and I said, look, it ain't Charlotte.

She was just sitting, looking out the window, all by herself.

Carrie's Aunt Charlotte had lost two sons during the Vietnam War, Lane and Joseph Hargrove.

Carrie grew up with his older cousins.

He remembers the weekly Sunday dinners together

and how they'd all run wild on the farm as kids.

Carrie was just 11 when Lane went off to war.

Lane joined the military from there straight to Vietnam in 1968.

He didn't last but a few weeks.

Joseph looked up to Lane. He was his hero. So Joseph joined the Marines because I don't know if you could call it revenge, but he wanted to set things right

for them killing his brother. And we never saw Joseph again.

Lance Corporal Joseph Hargrove, along with two other Marines,

went missing in action during the final battle of the Vietnam War,

known today as the Maigwez incident.

We didn't know whether he was dead or not.

The only thing we could get was missing.

M.A. I mean, nobody had answers other than they were accidentally left behind, which doesn't sound like the military. You don't leave nobody behind.
