While on travel in Vietnam, Fagan and her staff visited an underwater recovery team during their recovery efforts in support of DPAA's mission and her four Coast Guardsmen attached to DPAA from RDLW.
Service members from the U.S. Army 7th Engineer Dive Detachment and the U.S. Coast Guard Regional Dive Locker West combined skillsets and techniques with DPAA and one of its underwater archaeologists to take on the unique underwater recovery mission. They searched for six of the remaining 1,244 Americans unaccounted for in Vietnam over a span of 75+ days.(U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Morgan L. R. Burgess)
