Local workers with the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) uncover a casket at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in Manila, Philippines, June 8, 2018. ABMC worked with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) to exhume the remains from 23 graves as part of DPAA’s effort to identify personnel that died in the Cabanatuan POW camp during WWII. There are more than 900 service members that are unaccounted for from the prison. DPAA’s mission is to provide the fullest possible accounting of our missing personnel to their families and the nation.
