*** Call for Attendance (Calverton, NY) ***

We have an unaccompanied WWII veteran who will be interred with full military honors at the Calverton National Cemetery. After more than seven decades of being classified as Missing in Action (MIA), the remains of US Army Sergeant Bernard J. Sweeney, Jr. will finally receive a dignified and honorable funeral service.

Sergeant Bernard J. Sweeney, Jr., aged 22, who entered the military in New York City on November 27, 1942, served valiantly in Company I, 330th Infantry Regiment, 83d Infantry Division during the Second World War. He was reported missing as of December 16, 1944, near Strass, Germany, during the Battle of Hürtgen Forest. His remains were not recovered or identified following the war, leaving him an unknown soldier for many years.

In April 1950, unidentified remains numbered as X-2752 were interred in Ardennes American Cemetery in Neuville, Belgium. These remains were recovered from a minefield north of Kleinhau, Germany. Thanks to exhaustive efforts by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and the American Battle Monuments Commission, X-2752 was exhumed in April 2019 and designated as CIL 2019-174. Through historical research and comprehensive laboratory analysis, the DPAA has now confirmed that these remains belong to Sergeant Bernard J. Sweeney Jr., service number 32645733.

Sergeant Sweeney, who had no immediate family or next of kin remaining, will be laid to rest with full military honors at Calverton National Cemetery in Calverton, New York, the nearest National Cemetery to his hometown.

The funeral procession will commence at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, starting from the Alexander-Rothwell Funeral Home in Wading River, New York. A horse-drawn caisson will carry his remains to their final resting place, symbolizing a solemn tribute to a fallen hero. Warrior Ranch Foundation is honored to provide a quarter horse, to serve as the riderless horse in the procession.

Please honor our brother and show our support.

I had USMC and AF mixed up, but the others I guessed right before he named each one.
My best friend and I went Army right after high school. After he got out, he decided he didn't like the civilian world, but didn't want the Army life, so he went CG, said he always wanted to get into helos. He ended up doing 20+ more years in the CG and eventually did get into Helos. He was involved with rescues during Hurricane Katrina, sent me some jaw dropping pics of the damage from his helo. He ended up finishing out his years as a CG Recruiter.

 

My friends ask me "What's it like to be in the military?"

 

LOL, I was bitching at my teenage son and was all like "it would behoove you". He was like WTF...

 

My Dad was an Air Force officer, and I grew up hearing that word on a semi-regular basis! (Yes, generally directed at me!)

 

No way those two didn't take each out down to Pound Town.

 

Wait, what?

 

Fair winds and following seas

 

Remember, that was an Iranian attack. They funded it, they paid for it...who cares if they used their proxies, it's their attack.

Never forget!
