Attendance sparse at Carbon ceremony

“And because of them, many gathered here today have never had to experience firsthand the horror of war.”

Vietnam veteran Patrick Rodrigues stood in the chill wind Thursday outside the Carbon County Courthouse, listening as county officials and an American Legion commander offered gratitude to those who serve in the military.

The officials -- those who spoke and others who left their offices to observe the Veterans Day ceremony -- easily outnumbered the rank-and-file citizens.

'Being here is great, and to honor our veterans was a pleasure for me,' Rodrigues said after the observance. 'But I wish there were more people here.' Read more

The exhumation and five-hour examination of the bodies has already paid dividends by generating phone calls from the public and correcting dental records of the woman. Police shipped samples from the bodies to a Texas laboratory for DNA analysis, which will be uploaded into a national database. Read more
