KVOA provided a story on a special ceremony at Marana's Veteran's Cemetery.
The unclaimed remains of 29 U.S. Veterans were laid to rest on Saturday during a special ceremony in Marana. The ceremony is part of an annual effort led by the Veterans Recovery Program that works to make sure unclaimed remains are identified and properly interred.
"We have veterans that have cremated remains that have been sitting on shelves for years," said Veteran Paul Marsh.
Marsh has been part of the effort to get the Veteran Cemetery in Marana.
The 29 veterans that were honored on Saturday may have never been identified had it not been for the Veterans Recovery Program.
"They deserve as good of treatment as we can give them as veterans. We do this type of thing twice a year to take good care of our veterans who don't have anybody to take care of them," said Marsh.
