A local Vietnamese official offers incense in a local blessing ceremony of the ground pre-excavation during a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) recovery operation in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, May 18, 2023. The ceremony followed local traditions and allowed for both locals and DPAA recovery team members to honor the memory of the missing while blessing the ground before starting excavation. There remain 1,244 Americans unaccounted-for in Vietnam. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Annaliss Candelaria)
