Airmen pay respect during repatriation ceremony
ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- Honor Guard members from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command drape an American flag over the remains of one of two servicemembers repatriated from Hanoi, Vietnam, on May 28. Airmen of the 445th Airlift Wing and Maj. Gen. Ed Mechenbier, the last Airman still serving who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam, flew the Hanoi Taxi to bring their fallen comrades home. The Hanoi Taxi became the first C-141 Startlifter to repatriate American POWs from Vietnam on Feb. 12, 1973. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Ken Wright)
