"It was very good playing alongside the Americans for the first time," said Kone Kham, a #Lao #soccer player who participated in the recent game with U.S. service members from #DPAA. The game helped both teams improve their cultural understanding and language skills. | #LaoPDR |

I was incredibly impressed to visit the DOD POW/MIA recovery site in China to learn about their painstaking work. The commitment of this team led by Capt. Cole Euverard, Master Sgt. Eric Lawson, and Dr. Rene Zielinski to look for our MIA is simply awe-inspiring. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA)

In rural Hengdong, Hunan Province, the Defense POW/MIA team is searching for the remains of an American WWII pilot missing in action since 1943. There are hundreds more U.S. MIA cases in China from WWII and other conflicts. A sacred mission - no higher priority. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA)
