Two sets of remains, which were found during the 131st Joint Field Activity (JFA) in Viet Nam from May to July 2018, were handed over to representatives of the US government for repatriation to Hawaii for further identification.

Addressing the ceremony, a representative of the US government spoke highly of the steadfast humanitarian policy, good-will, and increasingly efficient cooperation of the Vietnamese government and people.

This is the 144th hand-over of American servicemen’s remains since the end of US combat involvement in 1973.
