There has been no requests for burial urns from any of the cemeteries, or the State Veterans Cemetery office. I have made and delivered 2 urns to veterans at their request. Because everything that has been done to this point, has yielded no results, I have written a letter, which will go out Monday, to the NC State Departments of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, American Legion , Disabled American Veterans, Amvets, and the office of Veterans Affairs service officer for Catawba County. I am appealing to each organization to make this community outreach project known to their membership. It has become apparent that the only way this project will work, is if the families of a veteran to be interred, must ask the cemetery staff for an urn. It's obvious at this point, the cemetery staffs are not going to be bothered by asking if the cremains are in an urn. It's difficult to deal with Government employees. This is an extra task for them, and has no bearing on their job performance, so we really cannot hold them to blame for not offering the urns when the families arrive for the committal service. We'll keep trying. I would like to make an appeal to any of the membership, who are active in your local veterans posts, to make the project known to the post membership.
