U.S. and Republic of Korea service members with various Honor Guards stand at attention during the Korean War Remains Repatriation Ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, July 25, 2023. The purpose of the ceremony was to transfer remains and commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Armistice between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea (ROK). The efforts to return the remains are a part of the DPAA Korean War Identification Project. Obtained from various sources, over 200 sets of remains
of ROK service members were held in DPAA’s laboratory, whereby after multiple JFRs and years of collaboration, were repatriated through the United Nations Command to the ROK in 2012, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2021 ceremonies. There were seven sets of remains repatriated with one holding a positive identification. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Zachary T. Beatty)
