The U.S. military has repatriated what may be the remains of service personnel who were lost in action during World War II. The U.S. Embassy said the remains from Myanmar’s central Sagaing region were repatriated at the ceremony at the airport after being recovered in a mission carried out by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense.
