Airmen with the United States Air Forces Honor Guard escort the remains of Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Donald J. Hall, during Hall's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, March 26, 2018. On Feb. 6, 1967, Hall was a member of Detachment 5, 38th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron, when he, along with three other service members, were aboard an HH-3E helicopter on a rescue and recovery mission over then-North Vietnam. After rescuing the pilot of a downed aircraft, Hall's helicopter was hit by enemy ground fire, resulting in an internal explosion and crash. Hall was subsequently reported missing in action. His status was later amended to deceased. He was recently identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, and returned to his family for burial with full military honors. Hall, 20, of Stroud, Oklahoma, was identified through DNA and anthropological analysis on Aug. 18, 2017. (U.S. Army photos by Sgt. 1st Class Kristen Duus, DPAA)
