U.S. service members with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and service members from South Korea take part in a repatriation ceremony on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 23, 2020. 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 the 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.
