Dale Dewayne Thompson, a missing in action soldier from the Korean War, during a ceremony at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, May 11, 2023 for burial. Pfc.

Following the 2018 summit between former President Donald Trump and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, 55 boxes purported to contain the remains of American service members were accessioned into the DPAA laboratory in Hawaii. Using circumstantial and material evidence, scientists were able to identify Pfc. Thompson from these remains. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Cole Yardley)
