U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Jasper Gomes, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) explosive ordnance disposal augment, prepares to loosen dirt from an excavation area during a recovery mission in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Oct 15, 2023. Personnel use the shovels and other tools to excavate soil from the site in search of a missing U.S. service member from the Vietnam War. 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)
