Missing In America Project

I just wanted to bring to peoples attention information about a group known as the Missing in America Project. This story was recently on the news here in MO and I feel compelled to get the word out.

From MIAP.us

“Mission Statement: the purpose of the MIA Project is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans through the joint efforts of private, state and federal organizations. To provide honor and respect to those who have served this country by securing a final resting place for these forgotten heroes.”

It seems that, probably through various reasons, the Federal Government lost track of what could be THOUSANDS of cremated remains of our veterans. In the case of one facility in Oregon, there were an estimated 1,000 canisters in various stages of disrepair laying on dusty shelves in dingy storerooms. I am not even going to attempt to convey my disgust at this indignity. I do encourage everyone to check out their website, and if you feel like I do, donate to the MIAP cause. This is not Republican/Democrat/Liberal/Conservative issue. Its an American issue. And it screams to be remedied.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
