The military says, ‘no man left behind.’ That’s why two unclaimed Vietnam Veterans are being laid to rest at the Beaufort National Cemetery and the invitation for attendance is open to literally anyone and everyone.
The Beaufort National Cemetery has put out a call for volunteers to attend the service of two Veterans who are being interred at our National Cemetery, and stand as their family, because they have none.
Donald L. Brown, US Navy, Vietnam Veteran
David R. Dickson, US Navy, Vietnam Veteran
“The public is invited to join us for the service for Donald L. Brown and David R. Dickson. the Beaufort National Cemetery said in a social media posting. “Both are US Navy and Vietnam Veterans who recently passed away without any family.”
The service is scheduled to begin at 1pm on Tuesday, October 3rd.
The National Cemetery recommends that people wishing to attend arrive at least 15 minutes early.
“Staff will be positioned throughout the cemetery to provide instructions on where to park and then walk back to the committal shelter for the service,” it said.
“Accommodations will be made to allow the drop off and pickup of guests with mobility issues at the shelter.”
If you have any additional questions about the service, please contact the staff at Beaufort National Cemetery at 843-524-3925
Please share and help get the word out that these Veterans are NOT forgotten. They’re unclaimed veterans; in Beaufort, we are all their family.
If you can spare an hour out of your day to attend and to help give these heroes the love and respect they deserve, please do.
