 â€˜The right thing to do:’ Unclaimed remains of 19 veterans laid to rest

Some veterans are missing in action while others are missing from inaction — their cremated remains languishing unclaimed in urns, on shelves, in closets of funeral homes across the country.

The Missing in America Project interred the remains of 19 veterans and six military spouses at the South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth on Saturday.

One veteran’s remains had gone unclaimed since 1973, said ceremony co-organizer Kathy Church.
