Vice President Mike Pence, the son of a Korean War combat veteran, is due in Hawaii to participate in an “honorable carry ceremony,” marking the arrival of North Korean War remains on American soil at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, reports The Associated Press:
“When North Korea handed over 55 boxes of bones that it said are remains of American war dead, it provided a single military dog tag but no other information that could help U.S. forensics experts determine their individual identities, a U.S. defense official said Tuesday.
“The official, who discussed previously undisclosed aspects of the remains issue on condition of anonymity, said it probably will take months if not years to fully determine individual identities from the remains, which have not yet been confirmed by U.S. specialists to be those of American servicemen.”
