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:

What a great story.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18
