Review for Missing In America-Veterans recovery Program, GLENDALE, AZ, USA
I voluntered with MIAP from the very first in 2006. I have contacted and worked in several funeral homes that have over 100+ unclaimed cremated remains. At first you sort through the names looking for veterans and spouses. Then as you narrow the list down they start to become people again and you start calling them be their first name. This isn't weird, it is very personal. It changes your life, you start to have a different outlook about today and tomorrow. To locate and have our veterans properly buried gives me peace. I am a veteran and served in Vietnam and know what it is to not be recognised for your service. This is my way of giving back. Bud Thieme
