To me, 'remains' sounds like something they picked out of the gutter. I wonder if it is intentionally used as a slight. How about 'the bodies of the warriors who gave their lives' or 'the caskets bearing the bodies of the beloved young men'. I don't know -- maybe it's because my son is draft age.
Condolences to the families, friends, and fellow countrymen of these warriors.
