A Navy veteran buried alone receives support from strangers who gather to honor his service.
I have to include this, which really moved me:
Through the cemetery’s Standing with Fallen Comrades program, community members can sign up to be notified of an unaccompanied burial. Almost 1,000 people have opted in, Buck said.
Facebook douses “kerosene on the fire,” he said. When a subscriber to the program posts an open call about a veteran’s interment, the message spreads even farther.
“Sometimes social media drives me insane, but in cases like this, it’s awesome. It brings great folks like you out here,” he said to the crowd.
Wow.
