DIXON (AP) — The unclaimed remains of 35 military veterans, including some from World War I, and two military wives have been given formal military burials in Northern California. The remains, some left unclaimed for decades, were escorted by 120 motorcycles from Santa Rosa to the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon on Monday. "One of the tragedies of this is that you have people who dedicated their lives and never got the recognition they deserved," said Sonoma County Supervisor Shirlee Zane.
