Veterans Join Forces To Ensure That Late Soldier Receives Proper Military Burial

A group of North Carolina veterans joined forces to organize and attend a Friday military funeral for a solider that had no family.

Upon learning that U.S. veteran Thomas Chapman passed away at the Asheville V.A. hospital last week and that his body went “unclaimed” by any kin, a group of local veterans sought to fill that void and honor Chapman by putting together and carrying out a proper military service, WLOS reported.

Those that laid the late Chapman to rest included members of the Haywood County-area Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) chapters. During his life, Chapman had no presence whatsoever in either chapter, according to the outlet.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
