    The image shows multiple flag-draped transfer cases or remains boxes on a dark-covered table, wrapped in both American flags and what appears to be the South Korean flag (visible on the right). A label on the leftmost case reads '21-DPAA-032' and '21 ROK-US J.F.R', indicating this is a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency repatriation ceremony. Blurred military and civilian personnel are visible in the background.

    Transfer cases with believed to be remains are placed on a table during the Korean War Remains Joint Repatriation Ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Sept. 22, 2021. The purpose of the ceremony was to transfer the remains and commemorate the service of 68 fallen South Korean and believed to be six U.S. service members who fought in the Korean War. 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 68 individual remains are of South Korean origin, though the remains haven’t been individually identified. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sgt.
