Members of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) conduct an honorable carry for the remains of unidentified U.S. service members at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Dec. 8, 2018. The remains were recently disinterred from graves at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines as part of DPAA’s effort to identify personnel that died in the Cabanatuan POW Camp during WWII.
