Rendering honors

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM — A bagpiper plays “Amazing Grace” as Maj. Gen. Stephen Tom, commander, Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, renders a salute during a remembrance ceremony, here, April 5. The ceremony honored the sacrifice of 16 U.S. and Vietnamese individuals who perished in a 2001 helicopter crash. The helicopter, carrying seven U.S. and nine Vietnamese crew members and passengers, crashed into a mountainous area of Quang Binh while preparing for future recovery operations.
