New York MIAP Mission with Dignity Memorial Providers.

The Missing in America Project, Dignity Memorial and the City of New York have partnered together to inter the unclaimed indigent and homeless veterans currently being stored in coroner’s offices around the city.

The first mission is scheduled for 8 January at 11 am at Calverton cemetery. The bodies of 30 veterans will be transported to the cemetery by a Dignity Memorial Funeral Director and hearse where they will receive the military honors they have earned.

Future missions will follow as there are a total of fifty nine veterans currently being stored.

All are invited to attend the ceremony at the cemetery

MIAP was requested by the Department of Veterans Cemetery Affairs and the New York City Mayors office. Our national Memorandum of Understanding with Dignity immediately partnered all of these groups together to conduct this mission to honor those veterans who cannot speak for themselves or have family to help.

Linda Smith has coordinated this event with Chris March of the Dignity Memorial Group. A lot of effort and contact with the City of New York was needed.

Thank to everyone involved to finalize this event
