U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman Chief Petty Officer Elton Reece, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) recovery team medic, uses a metal detector pinpointer while excavating metal hits during a recovery mission in Laos, September 24, 2023. Pinpointers and hand trowels are used after a metal detector sweep to hone in on the location of a metal object in the ground. 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. Cole Yardley)
