USPS lost veteran's remains due to service cuts

Army veteran Scot Egan died in St. Louis in July. His sister, Dr. Jean Egan, says she tried to mail his cremated remains to her other sister. She says for 12 days, the post office lost them, and she blames postmaster general Louis Dejoy and the cuts he has made.

“If Postmaster General Dejoy cannot do his duty to the American public, and military families like mine, that he should be removed from his post,” Egan said at a press conference alongside U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).
