BANGKOK, Thailand — Vietnam today turned over to a U.S. military team what it believes are the remains of 23 Americans unaccounted for from the Vietnam War, a U.S. spokesman said. It was one of the largest such turnovers.
A U.S. military honor guard solemnly saluted as the remains, in coffins draped with folded U.S. flags, were placed aboard a Hercules C-141 transport plane during a short ceremony at Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport, Maj. Dan Trout said. The plane left the Vietnamese capital for Guam, en route to Honolulu.
