Breitbart: More than 100 people attended a funeral for an unclaimed veteran in Dandridge, Tennessee, on Saturday.
When 81-year-old United States Air Force veteran Charlotte “CJ” Birch passed away from pancreatic cancer in Pennsylvania in 2018, no family members claimed her remains for over a year and a half, according to WBIR.
However, once Birch’s friend Genie Wachter heard what happened, she decided to travel from her home in Illinois to Pennsylvania and transport her friend’s ashes to Dandridge, where she was born.
Farrar Funeral Home posted the veteran’s obituary on its Facebook page where community members shared it and encouraged others to attend the memorial service at Hills Union Cemetery.
“Please support, so our sister does not go alone,” the American Legion Post 2 of Knoxville wrote on its own page Monday. more
Honestly, Screw all of you!
She died a lonely horrible painful death because society only shows up for DEAD VETERANS.
You bust your stupid ass for them while they are ALIVE, they can’t hear you when they are dead.
Put down your hamburgers on Memorial day and Veteran’s day, go to the American Legion or VFW and find out who needs what?
Even the homeless get thrown a free turkey once a year, but the vets die alone from cancer and chemo, and no one gives a shit until its time to bury the ashes.
Screw all of this crap, do better everyone!
Bravo to Mithrandir. And shame on me. These are the perfect words in reaction to this story, Anger. I was touched after reading this, however seeing Mithrandir’s post rings truth. It was facts vs feelings. Thank you for showing me truth with facts.
i was gonna ask “why were they last week?” but above is much better said
