The Missing in America Project
For generations, they've waited. Unclaimed, forgotten.....
...silently occupying the shelves of mortuaries and state hospitals across the United States.
The cremated remains of veterans, many simply forgotten by their families and friends, await interment and military honors.
Today, the Missing in America Project - MIAP - is seeking what could potentially be tens of thousands of unburied U.S. veterans who served America in uniform.
Their stories have begun to emerge from the shadows of storage rooms.
The American Legion, by resolution, supports the efforts of the Missing in America Project.
