U.S. and ROK Conduct Repatriation Ceremony of Korean War Era Remains
It is amazing how remains from the Korean War continue to be found after all these decades:
The United States and South Korea exchanged the remains of service members killed during the Korean War on Friday — the first reciprocal repatriation ceremony between the allies in their decades-long effort to account for those still missing from the conflict.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung presided over the ceremony at Seoul Air Base, where the remains of 10 South Korean troops were returned from Hawaii while three sets of remains presumed to be American were sent to Honolulu for further identification and eventual return to their families. “Thanks to their noble sacrifices, we secured our freedom and peace,” Lee told those gathered at the ceremony. “It is the historical responsibility of the living to return them home,” he added. “Today’s repatriation is a milestone that deepens and strengthens the South Korea-U.S. alliance that is built on the blood and dedication of veterans.”
