    Three uniformed military or ceremonial personnel are bowing deeply over what appears to be a dark-colored casket or ceremonial container on an airfield tarmac. The individuals are wearing formal dress uniforms with insignia consistent with South Korean military or honor guard attire, including visible South Korean flag patches. The setting appears to be a dignified transfer or repatriation ceremony conducted near a large aircraft.

    Service members with the United Nations Honor Guard fold their nations' flags over transfer cases 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.
