Matthew Brown, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) team leader, Michelle Outlaw, U.S. Embassy Chargée d’ Affaires, and Dr. Jon Weiland, DPAA scientific recovery expert, walk by a bucket line during a recovery mission site tour in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Oct. 17, 2023. Lao citizens pass buckets of soil from the excavated units to the screening stations to ensure personnel can search for aircraft wreckage, life support equipment and possible osseous material. Since 1985, the United States and Lao governments have worked closely together to find and recover unaccounted-for personnel. There are currently 1,578 missing and unaccounted-for Americans from the Vietnam War, of which 288 are believed to be in Laos. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. David Owsianka)
