After fighting for their country in foreign lands, thousands of U.S. service members paid the ultimate sacrifice there, but they never made it back home on U.S. soil.  Military members and DoD civilians with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command on Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii each day come into work to do something about that and work to bring each and every person back to their waiting families.  They employ researchers, anthropologists, forensic dentist and more to find and identify remains.  Their laboratory called the Central Identification Lab is the largest forensic anthropology lab in the world.  
Sgt. Jeremy Vought talked with two Army forensic dentists there as they explain how the phrase "no one left behind" is just another day at the office.

JPAC teams identify around 100 missing service members each year.
