The Forgotten Veterans No One Came Back to Claim

A Western KY couple works to identify unclaimed remains of veterans in funeral homes so they can be buried with full military honors. There's a heartbreaking trend that occurs from time to time in the funeral industry. Someone passes away, their body is dropped off for cremation, and no one ever comes back to claim their remains. They sit on a shelf. But for one Western Kentucky couple, this story became personal when they realized some of these remains were those of you United States military veterans. And through the Missing In America Project, they set out to make things right. ═══════════ About KET ═══════════ KET is Kentucky’s largest classroom, providing trusted programming, lifelong learning opportunities and essential services to more than two million people each week.
