World War II vet's church funds his return journey

Joseph Comer's congregation at Northminster Presbyterian Church is sending the World War II veteran back to Europe to visit the sites where he campaigned 64 years ago.

Starting Tuesday, May 13, Comer will journey to France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. He hasn't been there since he was an Army paratrooper. He'll return home May 23.

There was one snag in organizing Comer's trip. He had a bit of trouble getting a passport because his birth certificate couldn't be found. He didn't need either document in 1944.
