The event drew the attendance of representatives of the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, the Viet Nam Office for Seeking Missing Persons (VNOSMP) and the U.S. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA).

This is the 161st hand-over of American servicemen’s remains since 1988. The operation has identified over 700 remains of U.S. soldiers so far.

DPAA and Vietnamese recovery teams located the remains during the 151st Joint Field Activity (JFA), which took place in the central provinces of Nghe An and Quang Binh from mid-May to July, 2023./.
