A Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency recovery team member and a local Vietnamese worker screen soil during a recovery mission, Nghệ An Province, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, March 26, 2023. Every inch of soil that comes out of the site is screened for any potential remains, life support equipment or material evidence. When dictated by the environment or soil conditions, wet screening techniques, where all soil is washed through wire mesh with high-pressure hoses, are used.
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.(U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Cole Yardley)
