ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- Maj. Gen. Edward Mechenbier (left) and Col. Gregg Sanders lay a wreath on one of two transfer cases containing the remains of servicemembers from the Vietnam War during a repatriation ceremony here May 29. General Mechenbier is the last Airman still serving who was a prisoner of war during Vietnam. He flew the Hanoi Taxi on this mission to bring his fallen comrades home. The Hanoi Taxi became the first C-141 Startlifter to repatriate American POWs from Vietnam on Feb. 12, 1973. Colonel Sanders is the 13th Air Force vice commander. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
