Strangers Attend Funerals of Veterans
Strangers came out to show their support at the funerals of two veterans, both of whom had no family members to attend, in two different states.
Jonathan Whitt, who served in the Army at Fort Riley in Kansas between 2005 and 2007, passed away on September 5 at just 31 years old. His funeral was held in Brown County, Wisconsin, where he lived, but Whitt had no family to attend his funeral. Breitbart News reported that his mother and stepfather passed away years ago, and the veteran was estranged from the rest of his family.
When word spread that Whitt had no family to attend his funeral, members of the community, including fellow veterans, came to the funeral on September 27 to pay their respects.
