H/T to William the Coroner.
For two weeks, no one has, despite Hannah’s years of service in the Navy, despite an honorable discharge, despite calls and a letter to the U.S. Military Retirement Pay Division. Bureaucracy and privacy concerns (ironic for a man whom no one has claimed) bog down the process.
Pass this down the chain. Someone knows this man, and he deserves better.

/ May 10, 2011That's good Nancy. We had a similar story here in Louisville a while back, and eventually one of the local VFW posts adopted the vet and made sure he got a decent burial at the cemetery near Fort Knox.
