The function was attended by representatives from the Vietnam Office for Seeking Missing Personnel, US Ambassador to Vietnam Michael Michalak and representatives from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command.　

A Vietnamese government representative handed over to the US government representative three boxes of remains found by local people during the 99th Joint Field Activities from May to June 2010.　

Those remains were jointly reviewed and concluded by Vietnam and US forensic specialists that they might be associated with the US servicemen missing during the war in Vietnam and recommended to bring to Hawaii for further review.　

Addressing the ceremony, the US government representative expressed deep gratitude and high appreciation for the steadfast humanitarian policy, good-will and effective cooperation of the Vietnam government and people.　

This has been the 114th hand-over of American missing servicemen’s remains since 1973./.
