Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) personnel prepare to load a casket for transport during a disinterment ceremony Honolulu, Hawaii, July 31, 2017. The ceremony was part of DPAA's effort to exhume 35 caskets associated with the USS West Virgina from the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
