An investigation by Leisa Zigman of KSDK (St. Louis, Mo.) found that the remains of thousands of cremated war veterans have been found across the country. Many have been stored in mortuaries and hospitals for decades. The Missing in America Project (MIAP) seeks to find the forgotten cremains, and give a proper burial to the veterans. A bill has been introduced in the state of Missouri to make it easier to release the cremains to service organizations seeking to honor the deceased veterans.
