RI VA cemetery buries 7 in wrong plot, mismarks 21 grave sites

American Mirror: The Rhode Island Office of Veterans Affairs is in damage control mode after workers at the state’s Veterans Memorial Cemetery discovered seven bodies buried in the wrong place, and nearly two dozen other graves with misaligned markers.

“I extend my most sincere apologies to all of the families impacted by this unacceptable mistake,” Rhode Island Veterans Affairs director Kasim Yarn announced Monday. “Our veterans and their families make tremendous sacrifices for our nation and we owe each of them respect and dignity, especially in their final resting place.”

The problem surfaced last week when a crew at the cemetery dug up a plot that was supposed to be reserved for the wife of a veteran, but discovered a body already in place, as well as six other graves that were mismarked, WLNE reports.  more here

  1. First and foremost the employees are lazy and secondly, they get huge bonuses if they can show that they saved money for the agency that can be used for frivolous training workshops at plush venues!
