Anonymous Katrina Victims Buried in Miss.
By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, Associated Press Writer

PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Five months after Hurricane Katrina, a man and woman whose identities are still a mystery were laid to rest side-by-side Thursday, mourned by complete strangers in the first of what could be many such burials to come.

The Rev. Rex Yancey, who led the brief graveside service, urged the mourners to pray that the victims would someday be identified and reunited with relatives.

"I don't know your name, but you are not alone. We stand here with you as you journey home," the Baptist preacher said, reciting a poem he wrote for the occasion.

The bodies were found in different places about a week after the Aug. 29 hurricane. Nobody came forward to claim them, and after fingerprints, dental records and DNA tests failed to yield their identities, the local coroner decided the time had come to let them rest in peace.

3. Mass graves will ultimately be found.

For that disaster and you can blame *'s cronies gutting our infrastructure, incompetants, the Kenyon Corp. who settled in funeralgate when they settled in a case resulting from charges about their inappropriate disposal of bodies after a flood when * was gov or Tx.

I'm pretty sure well over 10.000 people died down there.

Well not so well after all.

Sickening and pathetic.

Some culture of life. Ya know ?

7. And the names of the missing...and there IS a list of missing SOMEWHERE...
will no doubt be "recycled" and register & vote as Repugs in 2006 and 08 elections. The numbers of missing and/or displaced will GREATLY effect the already greatly tainted US Election process in upcoming elections.
