Breitbart: A Boston high school gave a deceased homeless veteran a military-style send-off after students learned the man died in the streets with no living family members or friends.
After students at Catholic Memorial High School discovered that John T. Fitzmaurice, an Army veteran, would be buried without any of his family and friends present, they worked with a local funeral home and ministry to give him a proper funeral, Fox News reported.
The high school ensured Fitzmaurice had a burial with full military honors and had a full mass in the school chapel in his honor before his burial.
Many students at the school attended or took part in the funeral to pay their respects despite not knowing much about the veteran. read more
Way to go young folks — thanks for honoring a veteran.
How did I know this would be a private school?
It gives one hope for the future. Thanks, youngsters.
That is the best story! Kudos to these young people, who have more sense and honor than most adults.
Good for these students and the students in Detroit as well.
RIP.
Good for them. It’s nice to know that Boston isn’t completely overwhelmed by left wing, liberal assholes.
RIP Mr. Fitzmaurice and thank you for your service.
God bless Mr. Fitzmaurice, as well as these young adults, who I imagine share a deep sense of satisfaction having selflessly honored a complete stranger.
Bravo, well done parents & CMHC… they’re on their way!
Pretty diverse crowd in that picture, huh?
