    South Korean service members salute boxes containing remains of South Korean service members on to an aircraft, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 22, 2020. The remains were being transferred back to South Korea as part of a repatriation ceremony. The purpose of the ceremony was to transfer the remains and commemorate the service of 147 fallen South Korean soldiers who fought alongside U.S. and United Nations forces during the Korean War. The efforts to return the remains are a part of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) Korean War Identification Project, and includes remains unilaterally turned over by North Korea from 1990 to 1994, and in 2018.The remains were analyzed jointly by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) laboratory and scientists with the Republic of Korea's Ministry of National Defense Agency for KIA Recovery and Identification (MAKRI). Working cooperatively, they concluded that the 147 individual remains are of South Korean origin, though the remains haven’t been individually identified. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
