The Nation : MIAs’ Remains Identified

The remains of four American servicemen killed during the Vietnam War have been positively identified by an Army laboratory, the Pentagon said. The remains of the three Air Force officers and one Navy officer, recovered earlier this year, were to be flown from Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii to Travis Air Force Base in California today for a ceremony. Three of those identified were among a set of 21 remains repatriated by Vietnam to the United States last April; the fourth was among 14 recovered last February during an excavation at the crash site of an Air Force AC-130 gunship in Laos.
