(CNN) Nearly 70 years after his death on a Korean War battlefield, a New Jersey man was finally laid to rest with military honors. Albert Atkins went missing during a battle as a 20-year-old Army private in 1951. On Friday, he was interned at last in a marked grave at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Atkins went missing during an assault on a hill near Mae-Bong, South Korea, in May 1951. Fifteen years later two South Koreans informed the US Army of three graves near Kwandra-ri.
