Review for Missing In America-Veterans recovery Program, GLENDALE, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I went coast to coast with this group to take a Medal of Honor recipient and two Silver Star veterans to Arlington for burial. It became a spiritual adventure as crowds gathered to honor these veterans and stand along roads and in towns to display flags and salute this journey. This is a daily activity for this group as indicated here: The purpose of the MIA Project is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans through the joint efforts of private, state and federal organizations. To provide honor and respect to those who have served this country by securing a final resting place for these forgotten heroes.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Being an intregal part of watching it grow in 3 years to bury over 632 abandoned unclaimed veterans

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The patriotism and emotional connection with other veterans who assist in working on this project.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

outstanding in that their belief is to simple provide the honor and respect due to a person who protected and provided us with the freedoms we now enjoy.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

have representatives in every state with a budget to pay any fees and purchase a proper burial for these forgotten veterans. Purchase professional database access to find military history on abandoned cremains.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
