Description: Yellow roses are placed at the base of the empty Vietnam Unknown Crypt where the inscription now reads "Honoring and Keeping Faith with America's Missing Servicemen 1958-1975". The new inscription on the crypt is being dedicated during the National Prisoner Of War/Missing In Action Recognition Day at Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C. on Sept. 17, 1999. The remains formerly in the crypt were removed in May of 1998 and were later identified as Air Force 1st Lt. Michael J. Blassie through mitochrondial DNA testing.
