Press Release from the Genealogy Team at Families For
Forgotten Heroes
https://www.facebook.com/familiesforforgottenheroes

There are staggering numbers of veterans who are dying
alone, homeless on the streets. Many Unclaimed Veterans are reduced to a can of
ashes, sitting in storage on a funeral home shelf. Even if their families knew
of their death, they couldn’t afford to bury them.

There are groups out there who are researching the cremains in storage, trying
to identify which ones are Veterans, and get them their proper military burial.
One of these groups is the “Missing In America Project” http://www.miap.us/. (An amazing group that is
also seeking volunteers to help in their mission) It is a good thing to see
these Heroes honored and given the respect they deserve!

There is one final piece of the story that is still missing for the lives of
these Veterans….

That piece is telling the Veteran’s family that their Veteran has passed away
and / or has been buried. There are two organizations that are trying to do
something about this nation’s epidemic of Unclaimed Veterans. Both groups seek
to identify the Next Of Kin of Unclaimed Persons. 1 group specializes in only
Veteran cases, the other group researches civilians and veterans. Both groups
are working together on Veterans Day to raise awareness of Unclaimed Veterans,
and to seek more volunteers to help us research these brave heroes, so we can find
their families and send them home. If you are good at researching on the
internet, you would be a valuable member to these groups. Please consider
volunteering your time!

Veteran’s Day Homecoming Nov 11, 2011.
On Veteran’s Day Families For Forgotten Heroes https://www.facebook.com/familiesforforgottenheroes
and Unclaimed Persons https://www.facebook.com/UnclaimedPersons
will be posting several new Unclaimed Veterans cases on their forums. FFFH will
be one of the guests Friday night on the Geneabloggers Online Radio Show hosted
by Thomas MacEntee. This episode is entitled “Our Veteran Ancestors: Military
Records and Genealogy” http://www.geneabloggers.com/. Mark
your calendars for a little volunteer work on Nov 11th to help UP and FFFH send
this country’s Unclaimed Veterans home, while listening to the radio show! The
online radio show will give everyone an opportunity to learn about what FFFH
does, how we do it, and how ANYONE can help us reunite deceased veterans with
their families.
