A Good News Story from New Jersey
Twelve sets of unclaimed cremated remains of deceased New Jersey veterans were buried with military honors today at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown. Most had served in the two World Wars, but one set of remains dated from the Mexican Border Campaign.
The burial was arranged by a group called Mission of Honor. Since 2009, the group has reunited 170 sets of unclaimed veterans’ remains with kin and has arranged the burial of the remains of 79 other veterans.
We have a lot of . . . real pieces of work that end up “honored” here at TAH who hail from New Jersey. As a result we tend to give New Jersey grief.
But as this goes to show there are some good people in that state too. Well done, folks. Thanks.

I participated in one of these burials here in NM. It was a real honor. The ceremony was pretty well attended, and well augmented by Patriot Guard riders.
Wow! I’m speechless and proud that this nation still cares.
Now Hondo, not everyone from New Jersey is a dirt bag
In addition, I am very familiar with the group that does this and let me tell you, they do a phenomenal job with a dedication and love that most are never privileged to see.
Nice that you made note of their compassion and caring!
Bravo Sierra for Mission Of Honor. Outstanding Work. Joe
How would a person get involved with this? I’m located in the NOVA/DC area.
