Marine Donates His Uniform so Hit-and-Run Victim Can Be Buried in It

Veterans Samuel Jackson of Norristown and Richard Dunn of Conshohocken never met, but one Marine Corps uniform will connect them forevermore.

On Tuesday, Dunn donated his uniform so that Jackson -- whose life was taken by a hit-and-run driver Sunday -- could be buried in it with honor, according to Conshohocken VFW Post 1074 Commander Walt Hartnett.

"He said, 'The uniform just hangs there. I'll go buy another one for when my time comes,'" Hartnett said of Dunn's donation. "He was honored to be able to give it to a Marine."
