TOTAL DISGRACE: Remains of dead US war VETS dumped in landfill
The Dover Air Force Base mortuary for years disposed of portions of troops’ remains by cremating them and dumping the ashes in a Virginia landfill, a practice that officials have since abandoned in favor of burial at sea.

Above pic sure doesn´t show a american, this a german from WWI !
ReplyDeleteThis doesnt appear to be an American, judging by the kit and "coal scuttle" helmet. German helmet does appear to be ww1-style and the leather cartridge pouches are definitely NOT American, again probably German, similar to several I have in my personal collection. What kind of SCAM are these people trying to run- the obvious inaccuracies noted calls the premise supposedly illustrated by this pic into question. This guy has been deceased for awhile but not that long judging by the preservation of the uniform. He certainly wasnt cremated! I wonder if his family ever found out what happened to him?
