Granddaughter on her lap, Vickie Stephensen is presented with the flag from the casket at her husband's funeral. Then Major Mark Lane Stephensen's RF-4C Phantom II aircraft crashed into a hillside while evading SAM missiles over North Vietnam in 1967; his remains were repatriated 21 years later. At Mrs. Stephensen's right is Gary Sigler, who ejected from the back seat of the Phantom, but was captured and held prisoner for seven years
