James was injured in combat, he got full retirement from the Army, and the plan was for the family to start a new life in Puyallup.

TACOMA, Wash. – An injured Iraq War veteran had his rented truck and trailer stolen Monday and the family doesn't know if the thieves took off with the ashes of two family members.

James Dunahoe said he couldn't believe how his morning played out. At 7 a.m. Monday, his truck was there. A few hours later, it was not.

"I went to get my family something to drink and eat this morning and when I came back at 11, it was not there," Dunahoe said.

"I thought he was joking," Leahana Dunahoe said. "Everything's in there. Our clothes, our kitchen, our living room, dining room."

There were also some things you just can't replace.

"Our son just passed away and his ashes are in there," Dunahoe said. "My mom just passed away. Her ashes are in there."
