Addressing the ceremony, the US Government representative expressed their deep gratitude and appreciation for the steadfast humanitarian policy, good-will and the efficient cooperation of the Government and people of Vietnam.

The search for remains of US servicemen missing during the war in Vietnam is humanitarian cooperation between the Governments of Vietnam and the US. This is the 141st hand-over of American missing servicemen’s remains since 1973.
