Dozens of cases believed to contain the remains of missing American soldiers who died during the Korean War have finally returned to US soil.

In an emotional and solemn ceremony, Vice President Mike Pence welcomed the remains of the presumed casualties on Wednesday after they were flown from South Korea.

American flags were draped over the 55 cases as they arrived in Hawaii and were escorted off an aircraft by military honor guards.'Some have called the Korean War the 'forgotten war.'But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten,' Pence said at the ceremony.


'Today, our boys are coming home.


'Each of the 55 containers was accompanied by one Marine, one sailor, one soldier and one airman.

They set them gently on risers lined up inside the hangar as Pence stood watching with his hand over his heart.

'Whosoever emerges from these aircraft today begins a new season of hope for the families of our missing fallen,' Pence said on Wednesday addressing the crowd.


'Hope that those who are lost will yet be found. Hope that after so many years of questions, they will have closure.'

that's what you call patriotism..even if its 100years they will still fight to get the remains of their fallen heroes.... when I die and go to heaven,the only question I would ask d guy up there is,"who shipped me to Nigeria"..me and dat dude we are going dip our legs in one trouser

When you tell people that war is a terrible thing, they think you're joking. There is something about the US Mil, they value their soldiers whether dead or alive.

Audience members stand during the National Anthem at a ceremony marking the arrival of the remains believed to be of American service members who fellin the Korean War.

North Korea handed over the remains last week. A USmilitary plane made a rare trip into North Korea to retrieve the 55 cases.

The bones' return was part of an agreement reached during a June summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump thanked Kim for the return.

There are 7,699 US service members listed as unaccounted for from the 1950-53 Korean War, of which about 5,300 are believed to have died on North Korean soil.

The remainder are those who died in South Korea but have not been recovered; those who died in air crashes at sea or on ships at sea, as well as a number who are believed to have been taken to China.

God bless Trump and make America greater.

68 goddamned years!

US too like war

My home

You only know the start of a war, no one knows the end...I commend Trump for this recovery,the guy have been proven his critics wrong.

Can our soldiers have this? Most of them are buried without honour. 68 years their country still remembers them. Trump is re writing history. The American values must be sustained.

These are people that died in a war

Make America Great Again! TRUMP.

Good job Mr Trump/Pence.

A dead American is more valuable than a living nigerian

This is patriotism at its best.

GOD Bless America!
GOD Bless Nigeria!
GOD Bless The Whole Human Race!

Much ado about nothing.

If na naija d millitary will say d remains no be their members.




It is shameful to deny d dead heroes of d nation their identity all in a bid to make NA looks strong. It is an insult to d dead.



Despite d overzealousness of some soldiers, d true heroes in Nigeria are d millitary.



But N.A should stop dis absurd denial dt even d blind knows it's a lie.
