The Vietnamese side’s representative handed over to the U.S. side 04 (four) boxes of remains which were handed over by Vietnamese people and recovered by joint teams during the 121st Joint Field Activities from October to December, 2015.
The remains have been jointly reviewed and concluded by Vietnam and U.S. forensic specialists that they might be associated with the U.S. servicemen missing during the war in Vietnam and were recommended to bring to Hawaii, the United States, for further review.
Addressing at the Repatriation Ceremony, the U.S. Government representative expressed deep gratitude and appreciation for the steadfast humanitarian policy, good-will and the increasingly efficient cooperation of the Vietnamese Government and people.
The seeking of the remains of U.S. servicemen missing during the war in Vietnam is humanitarian cooperation between the Vietnamese Government and the U.S. Government. This is the 137th hand-over of American missing servicemen’s remains since 1973./.
