The Defense Department said Friday that the U.S. Army followed proper policies in its transport of a soldier's coffin last month at the Greater Rochester International Airport.
The Pentagon said that proper military honors were performed during the off-loading of the coffin. And because some airports do not normally allow hearses on the runway, a separate cart carried the remains to a cargo holding area to load into a hearse, the Pentagon said.
