Bones found near Vietnam War battle site reburied

Most recently, bones of six soldiers believed to date back to the battle during the 1972 Spring-Summer Offensive were recovered on property adjacent to a site where residents were digging a foundation for a house.

The remains were recovered by the Kon Tom City Military Command who also accorded them a professional military burial. Unfortunately, the results cannot determine the specific names and identity of the soldiers.

It is not unusual for Vietnam War remains to be found, since there were many major battles in the war with the US, and there could be as many as 300,000 Vietnamese soldiers that remain unidentified nationwide, according to some estimates.
