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 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
