Remains of World War II veterans who have been deceased for decades have recently been found on Long Island.

The cremated remains of seven WWII veterans were recently discovered at a Freeport funeral home - and after decades, they were brought to their final resting place on Tuesday.

The bodies of the men who served and one of their spouses - all from the Freeport area – were never claimed.

The remains of the seven veterans and the spouse will all be entombed at the Long Island National Cemetery.
