An unclaimed veteran was buried at Tahoma National Cemetery. Q13 News photojournalist Marc LeCuyer shows us how dozens of people came out to honor him.
It was a grand turnout for a fallen comrade in arms that had no family. He was our brother. There had to be more than 1000 people there yesterday. I counted over 50 motorcycles, mostly of Patriot Guard and Combat Veterans motorcycle clubs. People were mostly a mix of ALL military services, active and prior active, and civilians too. A big 'Thank You' to all that spent the time to come over for this.
Is there a group or organzation that can coordinate or arrange a burial for a local unaccompaied veterans who will be placed together with his wife at TNC - neither has an next of kin or anyone at all.

I am so very sorry that I forgot it. So thankful many did not.
