Ken Nguyen, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) Vietnamese linguist augmentee, places soil in a wet screen during a DPAA recovery mission, Nghệ An Province, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, March 5, 2023. The term unaccounted-for refers to those who were missing in action or killed in action whose remains were not recovered, and those who died in captivity whose remains were not returned to U.S. control following the cessation of hostilities.
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. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Cole Yardley)
