  Medical Examiner lays veterans to rest after no family steps forward
Ken Kolker - Yesterday 2:35 PM
 

ROSS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - For months, their remains lay unclaimed in a morgue - five men who served in the military without families to claim them. Thursday, they were buried with honors.
 
At the end of their lives, they had no families to keep their stories alive, at least none that came forward. Their cremains were left in boxes unclaimed, one for more than a year.

“The cremains come back to the ME and we are considered to be their next of kin," said Michelle Fox with the Office of the Medical Examiner at Sparrow Hospital.

The ME’s office reached out to family, friends and other contacts but nobody returned those calls.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
