A member of Republic of Korea (ROK) Ministry of National Defense Agency for Killed-in-Action Recovery and Identification (MAKRI), drapes a South Korean flag over a box containing remains in preparation for a repatriation ceremony held by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 23, 2020. 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 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 DPAA laboratory and scientists with MAKRI. Working cooperatively, they concluded that the 147 individual remains are of South Korean origin, though the remains haven’t been individually identified.
