The funeral flag box of a fallen soldier has made its way home to family thanks in part to a local newspaper. The Saratoga Sun reports the box was donated to the Deseret Industries Thrift Store and Donation Center in Idaho. They went to work researching the name on the box, Tyler Pickett, and connected with the Sun. The Sun helped connect them with Pickett’s mother, who used to live in Saratoga with Tyler, and the box was returned. Pickett was killed in action in the Iraq War in 2008.
