LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (News 12 Long Island) – The cremated remains of seven World War II veterans were recently discovered at a funeral home on Long Island, New York.
The servicemen were brought to their final resting place, Long Island National Cemetery, on Tuesday.
The veterans were given their final honor in a somber ceremony in Farmingdale before being buried.
Their cremated remains of the servicemen and one spouse were discovered in a storage room at Freeport Funeral Home.
Little is known about the people whose remains were found, but for those who attended the ceremony, that didn’t matter.
“They are our brothers and sisters. Whether it is Korea, World War II, Vietnam, or Iraq, they stood for us, we stand for them,” a ceremony attendee said.
