It kind of shocked me a little bit,' she said.Among the items were several photographs, an American flag, and the cremated remains of Leroy F. Criswell.

His sister died with no known next of kin.Morales wanted to make sure Criswell's remains ended up in the right place.'He deserved to have a resting place, and I wasn't going to rest until I knew that he did,' Morales said.Morales eventually reached out to Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
