Bucks Co. Veterans To Be Laid To Rest During Unattended Service

WARMINSTER, PA —Two Lower Bucks County veterans will be laid to rest during an Unattended Veterans Service at Washington Crossing National Cemetery next Thursday.

Warminster-based Bucks County Coroner Meredith Buck has announced that two veterans from the Vietnam War Era and the wife of a veteran will be interred during the Unattended Veterans Service at Washington Crossing National Cemetery.

The public is invited to attend the service, which begins at 2 p.m. at the cemetery on 830 Highland Rd. Unattended services are military burials held for veterans whose remains were never claimed by family.

“The community is invited to join the Bucks County Coroner’s Office at the service that honors those who served our country as they are properly laid to rest,” Buck said.

The veterans being interred are:

• Stanley Creeley —U.S. Marine Corps (Lance Corporal), (Vietnam War Era), from Middletown Township (DOD: 10/26/2022).
• David Zdrojewski —Private First Class, (Vietnam War Era), from Bristol Township (DOD: 06/19/2023).

Buck said that Marlene Sabetay, the wife of a veteran, from Doylestown Township, will be interred privately with her husband. (DOD: 06/03/2023)

During the ceremony, their names will be read, and the Pennsylvania Military Honors team will present the flag on behalf of the veterans. A rifle salute and live Taps will be provided. After the ceremony, the veterans will each be placed in their own niche in the columbarium which will be engraved with “Proudly Served.”
