English: As a United Nations Command honor guard composed of American, South Korean, and Thai soldiers carry a casket believed to contain the remains of one of five U.S. Army soldiers killed in the Korean War, officials, lead by U.S. Army COL Donald Kropp, from the United Nations Command Military Armistice Commission (UNCMAC) salute the casket draped with the U.N. flag. The UNCMAC officials received the remains from North Korean officials during the eighth repatriation ceremony held at the Panmunjom Freedom House since joint search and recovery operations began in Korea in 1996. The five sets of remains brings the total returned to 19. Kim Yong-kyu, a spokesman for the U.N. command said the remains were recovered from Gaechon City, about 50 miles north of Pyongyang. The U.S. 2nd Infantry Division suffered nearly 5,000 casualties while retreating through the area after China entered the war in late 1950 heightening the possibility that the remains are of U.S. soldiers. The repatriated remains will be shipped to the Army's Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii for processing. |
