1,000 Turn Out for Unclaimed Marines' Funeral

Post by Malamute »

Public encouraged to attend burial for unclaimed veteran; services moved to larger venue,

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran passed away last month in Indianapolis, leaving no family behind. An Indianapolis-based nursing home was hoping to get the word out to encourage the public to attend his funeral - and the response has been so overwhelming that the funeral location has moved to a larger venue.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?
