‘This is horrible.’ Homeless veterans are being buried in paupers graves in GA city

Columbus has long been a home to veterans of the military with Fort Moore, formerly Fort Benning, having been a part of the area for over 100 years.

Some of these veterans struggle with life after the military. And in Columbus, some veterans are becoming homeless and dying alone and being buried in pauper graves.

While services for veterans are available through the Veterans Administration, sometimes these benefits aren’t easily accessible to veterans. A few local individuals and organizations are helping to both help homeless veterans and preserve the memory of those veterans who have passed away.

As a result, a developing trend that is disturbing to those monitoring veterans and their plight is that homeless and indigent veterans are being buried in pauper graves within Columbus.

There had better not be any illegal aliens being buried in pauper's graves, by God, or there will be hell to pay. :bullie pirate:

Shameful.  Absolutely shameful.
