    Right Reverend Benedict Loe, Diocese of Guadalcanal of the Anglican Church of Melanesia Bishop, gives a prayer during a repatriation ceremony on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, Aug. 23, 2024. During the ceremony, team members and members of the Solomon Islands government transferred possible osseous material to Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) for potential identification at the DPAA laboratory on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. There are approximately 72,000 U.S. personnel unaccounted for from WWII. Of those, 374 are unaccounted for from Guadalcanal. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ariel Owings)
