Gerri Eisenhauer's father, Army Pvt. William Walters, was shipped off to World War II before she was even born. In 1944, her family got back his body and a letter that only stated he had died somewhere in France. Eighty years later, she finally received some answers. Steve Hartman has the story in "On the Road."
