The remains of a US Navy SEAL were found in a Pennsylvania dumpster and returned to his family in what they’re calling a “Christmas miracle,” according to a report.

Ronald Lee Pruitt died in Delaware in 1996 and his ashes were given to a sister who also ended up dying a few years later, WGAL reported.

Somehow, the urn ended up in a dumpster and was destined for a landfill until an eagle-eyed construction worker spotted it and plucked it out this week, the outlet said.

“I realized this was an urn, so there’s no way I was leaving it in the dumpster,” construction worker Shane Hanna told WGAL. “Especially because it had a Navy SEAL insignia on it.”

His father advised Hanna to bring the urn to a local Veterans of Foreign Wars post, which was able to track down one of Pruitt’s relatives, his sister Barbara Dixon.

“I found his obituary and our post quartermaster did some research and actually found the funeral home that had cremated him,” VFW employee Dwayne MacKenzie said.

Dixon drove three hours from her home in Delaware and was given the remains during a ceremony at the VFW honoring Pruitt’s service.

“I told them they were his guardian angels,” Dixon said of the people who helped track her down to return the urn.

“It is a Christmas miracle. It’s a miracle that all these people went above and beyond to find me.”
