Most likely they were homeless. That makes me so sad that they had no one to claim them.
Dignity Memorial provides burial services for veterans who cannot afford it. I am. I am not sure if they take donations or not.
We who have the means to due in large part to the sacrifices of these men and women owe them at least this much.
I wonder if one could adopt a veteran post-mortem so they would a least have someone to visit their grave now and then? This is really tragic.
