On February 12, the NAGA® team embarked on a mission that would take them halfway across the U.S. in an effort to find and make known the remains of unclaimed veterans. Starting in the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, the team found online one unclaimed veteran by the name of Marshall A. Packer, but when they ended up at his grave, they were met with 12 other unclaimed veteran graves whose names were nowhere to be found online. After this, the team ventured to Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Illinois, where they visited the graves of Joseph M. Neven, George E. Kratt, and Jerry D. Lowe to pay their respects to these forgotten heroes. Finally, the NAGA® team arrived at the Omaha National Cemetery, where they identified and honored the remains of three new unclaimed veterans, Stanley C. Stoltz, Michael Virgil Lafreniere, and Donald Ray Starkm, and visited the graves of two old friends, Edmund Kohlbek and Steven Neal Davis.
