WWII Marine veteran without family to be buried in Wyoming // His internment will be in Casper, Wyoming. If anyone nearby has time, it would be a lovely gesture to attend. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2020/02/25/wwii-marine-veteran-without-family-to-be-buried-in-wyoming/ …

  I've been a member of #PatriotGuardRiders for a few years. Can't tell you how many veterans funerals I've been to. Even though they are very sad events, I don't once regret the honor of attending any mission I've been on.

  Thank you for your honesty. I read accounts originally from the Denver Post of the fallen marines during the Iraqi War, & the dedication of the COs to personally inform family members. I cried through the entire book at the honor, respect, & grief demonstrated by all our military

  I am saddened that so many elderly veterans have no families.
