GIs' remains to be flown home from Vietnam

June 3, 1983

The remains of 12 Americans missing in action since the Vietnam war will be flown home from Hanoi later this week. A spokeswoman at the Vietnamese Embassy in Manila said several Americans had been issued visas to get the bodies out of Vietnam. A US delegation flew to Hanoi from Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday to discuss some 2,500 servicemen still listed as missing in Vietnam eight years after the last Americans fled by helicopter from the roof of the US Embassy.
