A joint service detail assigned to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) participates in a disinterment ceremony Honolulu, Hawaii, July 13, 2015. The ceremony was part of a six-month effort by DPAA, with the help from the Department of Veteran Affairs, to exhume 61 caskets containing up to 388 remains of unidentified service members lost on the USS Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. The detail escorts the caskets from their plots at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP) and loads them onto trucks for transport to the DPAA Laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The mission of DPAA is to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing personnel to their families and the nation. (U.S. Air Force video by Tech. Sgt. Kathrine Dodd)
