U.S. Navy Lt. Ryan Mallek, a chaplain assigned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, leads the detail transferring the remains of U.S. Marine Corps Pvt. Eugene Miller to the ceremonial area during a funeral ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP), Honolulu, Hawaii, Jan. 16, 2024. In 1946, as part of post-war efforts to recover missing soldiers, the 604th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company centralized all of the possible remains found in Tarawa at Lone Palm Cemetery for later repatriation. The 94 sets of possible remains that were recovered but could not be identified were buried as unknowns at the NMCP in Honolulu. In July 2021, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) disinterred the grave and sent the remains to the DPAA laboratory for forensic analysis. The laboratory analysis and the totality of the circumstantial evidence available established the remains as those of Pvt. Miller. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Tyrae Straw)
