The combined efforts of The Westmoreland County Coroner's Office, Pantalone Funeral Home, many VSOs including the Missing in America Project, and various Law Enforcement Agencies allowed for the proper send off for 15 Veterans. Their Cremains were unclaimed for one reason or another; some since the early 1990s. The combined efforts spearheaded by Mr. Tim Carson and his team allowed for the proper closure of these Vets' Service. A service honoring these Vets took place at Westmoreland, PA and then they were safely escorted to their final resting place at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies where a service rendering full military honors took place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  * Service Brochure/Flyer (Last 3 Pictures) contains the names of the many individuals/organizations involved whose efforts allowed for this final closure to the 15 Vets' Service.
