Up to 200 sets of remains belonging to American servicemen are expected to be transferred from North Korea to the U.N. command in South Korea in the next few days, two U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News.
The officials say the returned remains will be shipped to Hawaii, where they will be examined by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency for identification purposes. The number of remains expected to be transferred was first reported by CNN.
Word of the transfer comes one day after the Pentagon announced it was suspending joint military exercises with South Korea before the next major war game, Ulchi Freedom Guardian involving some 17,500 American troops and 50,000 South Korean forces scheduled for August.

Half of them killed by China during the Korean war-as people so readily seem to forget.
I've known several men and one female nurse who were in the Korean War in the US Army. There were few more horrible places to fight in US history. Glad that some of the lost have been found and are coming home.
Yes. China very involved in that war...and a few Russian pilots flying MIGs though this kept from American public.
