"On Wednesday, August 21, 2024, Dignity Memorial’s Evergreen
Washelli Funeral Home and Cemetery hosted a memorial service to honor the
lives of these brave Americans who fought to defend our freedom."
" The Washington State Missing In America Project has identified the unclaimed
cremains of Civil War Veterans and Civil War spouses. These numbers
include twelve married couples. Some of them will be reunited with family in New
York, Maine, Rhode Island and Washington State. Some will be inurned at the
Washington State Veterans Cemetery. One Navy veteran will be buried at sea. The
majority of them will be placed at Tahoma National Cemetery. We continue to
pursue eligibility for one veteran and five spouses included in the above total."
