URNS for Veterans

January 6, 2025

Hello Members and Friends of the Association,

The following is from Ted Cooley.  See below the number of potential number of unclaimed veterans from the VA.  This message is a repeat for some of you.

 

Hello All,

 

MSG(R) Joey Browning asked me to forward the below information to everyone on my SF Contacts List. He said you can contact him with any questions. His contact info is (904) 303-3337, or email "airbornejoe58@yahoo.com".

 

The urns are only for “unclaimed” veterans cremains. I give the urns to the National Cemeteries. I joined a couple of Marine Force Recon Colonel’s in this project at Raiford Prison.  I take donations for the precut wood that I have to order for the inmates to assemble urn kits for “unclaimed veterans cremains”.  The Special Forces Association, chapter 88 will have a booth set up at the Airborne Training Area at the battalion cookout on Jan 11th, along with applications for joining our chapter. 

I will have one of the urn’s with me and will be taking donations for ordering more precut urn kits that the inmates assemble.

 

CW4(R) Paul "Ted" Cooley

January chapter Meeting...2025

Daniel J. Poirier, MSgt, USAFR (Ret.)

A veteran – whether Active Duty, Retired, National Guard, or Reserve… is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life”.

 

That is an Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. !!
