How a high school history project reunited twins 74 years after their WII casualties

twins reunited after WWII
 
Seventy-some years after enlisting together in the U.S. Navy, identical twins from Nebraska were reunited in death, because of the efforts of a high school student of the same state. After entering a project in 2015’s National History Day project, the remains of the Pieper brothers were finally put to rest, side-by-side.

Without the 16-year-old’s project, the pair’s remains might still be apart to this day.

Here’s how it went down:

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

What a great story.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
