When I die I hope my humans think enough of me to provide proper burial or cremation. I hope they continue to think fondly of me as I will think fondly of them.
I love my humans. I have served my humans. I deserve the best, don't I?
I don't like thinking of my death, but this disgusting story just came to light.
As many as 60 bodies of VETERANS have been at the LA County morgue during the last year. They were not given proper burials.
The Veterans Administration says they were never notified the bodies were processed and ready to be buried. A spokesperson for the LA County Morgue pointed the finger at the VA.
They wrote, “…there are about 60 decedents of probable veteran status that have awaited disposition for about a year as a result of a personnel change in the Veterans Affairs office and stringent identification/eligibility processes required by the VA.”
Cindy Van Bibber, a VA spokesperson said, “There’s personnel changes every day but that certainly doesn’t take away from the service that we provide any veteran.”
She says “at no point” did the City Morgue contact the VA and tell them about the bodies piling up there.

Thank you, Mr. Enzo, for shedding light on this heartbreaking story. There is no greater shame from the leaders of this country than the way they treat our veterans. Period.
