I would like to send a heart felt thank you to all vets present and past. I would like to share with you reading this that with the way vets are being treated whether it’s avoidance, neglect or just plain disrespect a story that I watched and it has brought me to a complete understanding that these men and women have put there lives for the betterment of this country and all they got in return was grief. Please, watch this video and get yourself involved to help the many in need.
I came across this article today and it reminded me that even though someone is dead they are not forgotten - I’m not talking about family members remembering, I’m talking about complete strangers that are taking the extra step to identify and locate the unnamed and the missing.
The unnamed dead are everywhere — buried in unmarked graves, tagged in county morgues, dumped in rivers and under bridges, interred in potter’s fields and all manner of makeshift tombs. There are more than 40,000 unnamed bodies in the U.S., according to national law enforcement reports, and about 100,000 people formally listed as missing.
My wife and I have taken two years from our lives pursuing the same goal. It started out with the search of my wife’s family and it ended up being a large collection of names that did not have a home or place. She has published a great book titled “In Memory of…The loved and the forgotten of Ohio“. In this book you’ll read and see the many cemeteries we’ve seen and visited. You will also get an inside look of what my wife has found while researching soldiers that fount in the war here in Ohio many many years ago. I am glad to know that there is a network out there that is relentless in finding out what others chose to ignore.
