Americans Killed Fighting Islamic State Return

DENVER (AP) --Three American men killed fighting Islamic State are coming home.

Relatives of two Colorado men killed fighting the Islamic State group in Syria are huddling together at a train terminal waiting for their bodies to be returned home.

The bodies of Levi Shirley and Jordan MacTaggart are being repatriated Friday after a long and complicated journey.

Standing beside a pair of hearses, the families embraced to keep warm in the morning cold at Denver's Union Station.

U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter says he plans to present the families with a pair of flags flown atop the U.S. Capitol as a sign of respect.

The body of a third American, William Savage of Maryland, is being transported to North Carolina, where his father lives.
