Have you heard about the Unclaimed remains of war veterans laid to rest at Lake Worth cemetery?

RP Members here is a project that is laying to rest the unclaimed remains of veterans similar to what has been done in Arlington. Taking care of our own! Check out this video!

Unclaimed remains of war veterans laid to rest at Lake Worth cemetery

The mahogany urns bore gold plaques that read: "You are not forgotten." On Saturday, they were remembered for their heroic acts.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I had not specifically heard about the unclaimed remains of war veterans laid to rest at Lake Worth cemetery. I hope and pray that those unclaimed remains will eventually be reclaimed by as yet unidentified descendents of the deceased veterans.

Lake Worth? Wow, that's very close to where I'm stationed and yet I've heard nothing about it. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if service members from my base were taking part in this.

Sir, thank you for sharing the news of this project. I am sad that they are unclaimed, but happy that they have found a final resting place with honors.
