    Members of the United Nations Command, the Department of State, and Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), speak with personnel from the Korean People's Army before inspecting cases containing the possible remains of service members lost in the Korean War during a unilateral transfer in Wonsan, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, July 27, 2018. The cases were transported via military aircraft to Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, for initial review before being transferred to DPAA's forensic laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The mission of DPAA is to provide the fullest possible accounting of our missing personnel to their families and the nation. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class David J. Marshall)
