Why We're Here
The purpose of the 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.
The Missing in America Veterans Recovery Program (MIAP) (EIN: 20-8408832) is a Federal recognized
Non-Profit Veterans Organization for the identification, location, verification, and movement of Veterans
and their Dependents.
Working Together to Accomplish Our Goals
The initial focus of the MIA Project will be a massive, nation-wide effort to
locate, identify and inter the unclaimed remains of forgotten veterans. This
task will be executed through the combined, cooperative efforts of members of
the American Legion, other volunteer service and veteran organizations, local
Funeral Homes, State Funeral Commissions, State and National Veterans
Administration Agencies, and the State and National Veterans Cemetery
Administrations. Local, state and national laws must be followed in the
identification, claiming process and proper interment of the unclaimed remains
of forgotten veterans.
