The U.S. military says the final U.S. soldier who went missing in Lithuania has been found dead, ending a massive weeklong search for the four service members whose armored vehicle was pulled from a swampy training area. The bodies of the three other soldiers were recovered Monday after U.S., Polish and Lithuanian armed forces and authorities dug the M88 Hercules vehicle out of a peat bog at a training ground. Their identities have not been released as family notifications continue. The commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa expressed gratitude Tuesday to the U.S. allies who sent troops and equipment to help in the search and recovery.
