U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Nathanael Skousen, assigned to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), renders a salute to U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Andrew March, DPAA pallbearer, as he holds a U.S. flag during a disinterment ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii, Jan. 6, 2025. Seven individuals were disinterred as part of the West Loch Project: an ongoing effort by DPAA to disinter, transport, and identify service members who died in the West Loch disaster during World War II. The 1944 disaster killed or wounded 132 confirmed service members while they were loading ammunition and fuel onto ships at the West Loch peninsula of Pearl Harbor. This year marks the disaster’s 80th anniversary. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Kathy Duran)
