Buckets with dirt sit on a wet screening station floor as U.S. service members and Lao citizens prepare to screen the soil during a recovery mission in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Sept. 27, 2023. DPAA personnel and Lao citizens work together on investigations and excavations throughout the country between 30 - 45 days per mission to locate fallen U.S. service members. Since 1985, the United States and Lao governments have worked closely together to find and recover unaccounted-for American service members. There are still 288 missing Americans in Laos from the Vietnam War. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. David Owsianka)
