During the ceremony, team members and Socialist Republic of Vietnam officials transferred possible osseous material to DPAA for potential identification at the DPAA laboratory on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. There are approximately 1,576 personnel missing from the Vietnam War. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Keion Jackson)
