TROY, ILL. (AP) -- Survivors of a southwestern Illinois airman killed in Afghanistan say they're heartbroken because someone stole the serviceman's personal items during a trip to Colorado for a memorial service.
Brad Smith's family says a bag containing the Troy man's dog tags, along with his watch, wallet and other items, was stolen from their rental car while they lunched Tuesday in Colorado Springs, Colo.
