A marine without any relatives was laid to rest. At the ceremony, military members proved no serviceman is without a family.
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -- A former marine was laid to rest Wednesday at the Middle Tennessee Veterans Cemetery with no family or friends present to bury him. Instead he was surrounded by strangers and other veterans honoring him as the soldier he was.
Taps played out at the cemetery remembering Marine Sergeant Edward Combs. According to papers, Combs served in the Marines from 1948 to 1952, through the first part of the Korean War. He was born in 1928 and died in early December 2019.
There wasn’t even a picture of him at his own funeral.
