DPAA Center Visit

Recently we have been able to do some outings with a veteran’s organization, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). On Thursday, we visited the forensic lab at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) Center on the JBPHH base. It was sobering and eye opening to see the intricate process behind digging up evidence around the world and putting the pieces together in the lab to identify the remains and ultimately bring closure to the loved one’s family. Of course, we were not allowed to take photos of personal and sensitive material but there was a public display area where photos were allowed.

Here is an interesting article about the DPAA.
