Pence attends ceremony honoring return of presumed Korean War dead
The Hill, Aug 1, 2018, Brett Samuels

Vice President Pence on Wednesday welcomed the return of the presumed remains of U.S. troops killed in the Korean War and called it a sign of "tangible progress" in ongoing negotiations with North Korea.

Pence attended a repatriation ceremony at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, where 55 caskets of presumed troop remains were unloaded from military planes and placed on stanchions at the air base. The remains returned to U.S. soil are part of a deal struck between President Trump  and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

"Some have called the Korean War the forgotten war but today we prove these heroes were never forgotten. Today, our boys are coming home," Pence said.

"I know that President Trump is grateful that Chairman Kim has kept his word, and we see today as tangible progress in our efforts to achieve peace on the Korean peninsula," Pence said Wednesday.

"But today is just the beginning," he continued. "Our work will not be completed until all our fallen heroes are accounted for and home."

I pray the remains are truly of our fallen .... and will be so grateful they finally made it home.

I understand why Pence almost broke down.
