U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Joe Cisneros, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) recovery non-commissioned officer, excavates soil from a unit during a DPAA recovery mission, Nghệ An Province, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, March 5, 2023. DPAA strives to give families what solace and answers providing information about their loved ones’ service and ultimately their sacrifice.
Since 1973, the remains of more than 1,000 Americans killed during the Vietnam War have been identified and returned to their families for burial with full military honors. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency tirelessly continues the search for the remaining 1,581 missing in action service members, in order to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing and unaccounted-for U.S. personnel to their families and the nation.
