Missing In America Project
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.

For this cruise, please call Gina @ 928-404-3841 or email her @
ggscruiseandtravel@gmail.com to book.
She will be able to help you book it, answer any questions you may have and make sure that we
get the most we can for MIAP.
Some things to consider:
1. Norwegian is giving MIAP $100 per cabin booked!
2. Gina is donating her commission to MIAP
3. The cruise price includes everything except: gratuities and drink package , she can help
you set those up if you like
4. She is working on securing a hotel for the night before the cruise and a "Meet and Greet.
This will be an extra cost but she is working on getting us the best deal we can get.
5. This cruise is 100% refundable up to 120 days of sailing, so Aug. 24th is the last day of
that. But with the trip protection she has built into the cruise price you can cancel for any
reason up to the day of the crusie .
6. We need to have the 1st deposit of $25 per person by Jan. 28th to hold the cabins. We have
50 balconies, 20 oceanview and 30 interior cabins on hold , she can also get different
cabins if someone wants a suite or accessible cabin or solo cabin and then add it to the
group so we get the $100.
7. Families are also welcome, this is not just for MIAP volunteers, it is for any veteran or
anyone who supports veterans.
8. Please do not hesitate to contact Gina with any questions, she is a MIAP volunteer and
PGR ride captain as well.
Veteran Recovery Program
You served your country through a war, or through peacetime. You expected to receive a military burial, recognition by our government of your commitment to our great country. You expected to have honor and respect paid to you as a result of your service to our great country. Instead, you reside on a shelf in a mortuary or a storage facility at a crematorium.
The mission of the MIAP project is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremains of veterans through the joint efforts of private, state and federal organizations. These forgotten veterans have served our country and, as such, deserve to be buried with honor and respect. The impetus for our fine program began in November 2006. The Idaho State Veterans cemetery interred 21 cremains of forgotten veterans, with full military honors and the dignity these fallen heroes so richly deserved. Recently, a state hospital announced that 3500 cremains were on shelves to be identified. On the shelf were cremains for the time span of the 1890s to 1971. It is estimated 1,000 of these cremains are veterans. This is happening in every state.
This project has just begun. We need to blanket every mortuary and cemetery in the United States and let them know there are people who desire to claim our veterans. We need to let them know it is our desire to see they are interred with the honor and respect they deserve. They served our great nation. It is now our great nation’s turn to serve them.
The veterans languishing on shelves need us. They need America to step forward and ensure they are buried with honor. They need America to show their thanks for their service. Without them, we would not have the freedoms we enjoy today.
