From right, U.S. Navy Electronics Technician First Class Zachary McDonald, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) recovery team non-commissioned officer augmentee, and Dale Maratas, DPAA life support investigator, screen soil during a recovery mission, Nghệ An Province, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, March 19, 2023. Depending on recovery site conditions, team members and local workers can screen hundreds of buckets of soil per day, with rotating shifts to ensure members stay sharp and can pick out any evidence that may be used in the identification and recovery process. 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 from the Vietnam War, in order to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing and unaccounted-for U.S. personnel to their families and the nation.
