Defense Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Agency (DPAA) & American Battlefield Monuments Commission (ABMC) are two federal agencies that don’t get enough credit.
This may be, but the DPAA is still doing important work in SE Asia wrt recovering and repatriating remains. I visited an active recovery site in Thailand a few weeks ago.

The regime change has hit hard in the genealogical community. Bad enough when politics caused the firing of the National Archivist. But slashing the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) funding???? So much for commitment to veterans and their families...

This pisses me off. My dad’s cousin was killed in WWII. He’s just one of 1000’s still missing from WWII, Korea & Vietnam who are part of projects to be recovered and accounted for by DPAA. All of it will likely be cancelled. So insulting to families who have waited decades for closure.

As a civilian working at DPAA and then at USARPAC, the medics would roll thru the office, they & their little caretta and call out 'Who needs a flu shot! Flu shots! Get your flu shot!' U were a fool if u didn't line up - like refusing free shave ice. Stupid.

UD Night at the Opera was a huge success! So many great photos, but must share this gem of me and Artistic Director, @operaclawson.bsky.social enjoying a quiet moment seconds before Act III. Thank you to everyone at @universityofdayton.bsky.social and DPAA for making this happen!

To further complicate things, I know folks who do work to identify and repatriate remains of soldiers from Vietnam as well as elsewhere, and they are deeply sincere in their efforts to give families closure: dpaa-mil.sites.crmforce.mil/dpaaFamWebVi...
