The remains were recovered during the 115th Joint Field Activities from May to June, 2014.

Vietnamese and US forensic specialists concluded that the remains might be associated with the US servicemen missing during the war in Vietnam. The remains will be brought to Hawaii, United States, for further review.

Addressing at the Repatriation Ceremony, a representative of the US Government expressed deep gratitude and high appreciation for the steadfast humanitarian policy, good-will and the increasingly efficient cooperation of the Vietnamese Government and people.

The seeking of the remains of US servicemen missing during the war in Vietnam is humanitarian cooperation between Vietnamese and US governments.

This is the 131st hand-over of American missing servicemen’s remains since 1973.
