HONORING WAR DEAD: The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) conducted an arrival ceremony yesterday at Hickam Air Force Base to honor fallen U.S. military personnel whose identities remain unknown. Above, an honor guard carried remains that arrived in four flag-draped transfer cases. Two sets of remains are associated with the Vietnam War era, one from Laos and one from Vietnam. The two others are associated with World War II, one from Germany, one from France.


The honor guard loaded the last casket onto a bus to be transported to the JPAC Central Identification Laboratory for identification.
