Lauren Flores, the DPAA senior enlisted advisor pose for a photo with Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 154 during a Family Member Update in Detroit, Mi., May 2, 2026. The event gives families the opportunity to hear from DPAA leadership and subject matter experts through detailed briefings on recovery missions, laboratory identification processes, and the latest case developments. It also allows families to engage directly with DPAA personnel, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing efforts to account for their loved ones. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
