Sailors with Naval Station Everett deliver Funeral Honors for hundreds of veterans each year

A Western Kentucky couple works to identify unclaimed remains of veterans in funeral homes so they can be buried with full military honors.

MAY 2026:

She gives warriors, once forgotten, full honors: This Memorial Day weekend, families will gather at cemeteries across the country to visit the graves of loved ones who served in the military. But not every deceased veteran has a final resting place and family to remember them. Remains are sometimes left unclaimed for years or even decades. That's when REALTOR® Patricia Palermo, an agent with HomeSmart in Gilbert, Ariz., steps in to identify these forgotten heroes and ensure they have a proper military burial. In 11 years, she has helped identify and lay to rest 412 deceased military personnel whose service spans American history from the Civil War to the Persian Gulf War.
