President Trump on Thursday announced the first known identities of Korean War remains returned from North Korea, reports CNN. "Army Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel, 32, of Vernon, Indiana, and Army Pfc. William H. Jones, 19, of Nash County, North Carolina, are the first American remains from North Korea to be identified as a result of my Summit with Chairman Kim," Trump tweeted. "These HEROES are home, they may Rest In Peace, and hopefully their families can have closure." It's unknown how long it will take to identify the remainder. According to the Associated Press, 55 boxes were turned over in late July and found to contain what was described by Kelly McKeague, director of the Defense POW-MIA Accounting Agency, as a "mish-mash" of bones that would require extensive testing. According to the president, more remains are expected. "Hero remains to continue being returned home to the United States," Trump tweeted on Wednesday.
