I told you this would be good Friday!
North Korea has returned remains of 55 US troops killed during the Korean War, bringing renewed hope to families who have waited decades for closure.
The return of the remains, brought to a US base in South Korea, is the latest move in the cautious diplomacy between Washington and Pyongyang.
The repatriation was agreed at the June summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong-un.
Kim Jong-un has promised more remains are being recovered and will be returned to their families.
This is the first time North Korea since the armistice that ended the 1950-1953 Korean War, has returned US troops remains, although several Presidents have made attempts to have them returned.
