WANTED: A new veteran's organization with a new mission...
Otis Willie PIO The American War Library
Every week hundreds of veterans pass away to 'Post Everlasting'. The majority of
these veterans are not buried in military uniform, nor wearing a set of their
military medals or ribbons even though archeological discoveries for centuries
from around the world have shown that the remains of military burials from the
most ancient periods of human history are found with the metallic (medallion)
portions of their military medals completely intact and preserved.
America thanks and appreciates the many dedicated and generous Honor Guardsmen
and women who weekly give of their time to perform Honor Services at the burials
of our veterans. However, to this date there has never existed a veterans
organization that seeks to collect donated Class 'A' uniforms to provide funeral
homes or cemeteries, on a case-by-case basis, to ensure that our veterans are
not only buried with full military Honors but also dressed in full military
uniform.
Any veteran with time on their hands, a computer to solicit donated uniforms,
and a telephone to keep them in contact with local mortuaries and cemeteries
should become their local, community Class 'A' uniform provider, free of charge,
for military burials without regard to race, ethnicity, religious background or
Service Branch. Families and communities will greatly appreciate your service to
those who served.
