SIERRA VISTA — The Missing In America Project will have another ceremony Saturday at the Southern Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery during which the cremains of 17 former service members and one dependent will be laid to rest.
Joe Larson, the cemetery administrator, said normally two such ceremonies a year are held in which indigent service members are honored.
This year, two of those involved are World War II veterans.
Since those being honored may not have family members, Larson said the public is a stand in for them an he hopes area residents will attend the ceremony.
People should arrive by 12:30 p.m. for the 1 p.m. start of the event, he said.
