The remains of Sgt. John P. Bonnassiolle, a crewman in a B-24J bomber that went down over Germany in 1944, have been identified and returned to his family, Defense Department officials have announced. Bonnassiolle, a native of Oakland, Calif., will be buried Tuesday in San Francisco with full military honors.
