-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Korean War MIAs brought to Hawaii Associated Press An honor guard at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, carries the remains of an American soldier repatriated from North Korea. — AP Photo HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii — A four-service honor guard lifted three flag-wrapped coffins off a military cargo plane Wednesday. The ceremony marked the latest recovery effort of Americans lost in the Korean War. The three coffins were brought off a C-17 cargo plane by an honor guard that had flown with them from Pyongyang and placed on a blue military bus that took them to the nearby Army Central Identification Laboratory-Hawaii. The latest remains are believed to be those of Americans lost in fighting between communist forces and the Army’s First Calvary Division and the 2nd and 25th Infantry divisions in November 1950. They were removed from Unsan and Kujang counties in North Korea, along the Chong Chon River about 60 miles north of Pyongyang, by a joint U.S.-North Korean recovery team. The recovery efforts have been negotiated on an annual basis since 1996. Last year, five operations recovered more than all previous years’ activities combined. The remains do not necessarily include complete skeletons and identification, including DNA testing when the possibilities are narrowed down to the smallest number of candidates, could take months or years to complete. Samples for DNA analysis have been provided by only 25 percent of families of the more than 8,100 soldiers missing from the Korean War, according to the military. Ceremonies for arrival of the remains included no speeches or special observances. About 100 people, including a handful of Korean War veterans and other civilians, stood silently as the coffins were unloaded and placed aboard the bus. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
