There will be mass honors for Veterans who were Direct Burials. The remains were dropped off by funeral directors or delivery services and interred without receiving Honors. They were buried directly as no one requested Honors for various reasons, such as no next of kin, homeless, etc.

Please come out and give our heroes the farewell they deserve.
