The purpose of the Missing In America (MIA) Project is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans through the joint efforts of private, state and federal organizations. To provide honor and respect to those who have served this country by securing a final resting place for these forgotten heroes.
Warren Wurzburger from this organization will be the Ride Captain for this escort, and would appreciate all who can accompany them to Killeen.
These warriors have no one to stand for them, so we need as many as possible to be there for their final journey to their resting place.
