Top Kone sends us a link to the story<\/a> of 71-year-old Norman Hall whose life ended tragically when he was beaten and stabbed by thieves in Radcliff, Kentucky. The thieves were caught, but it looks as though the 22-year veteran who retired as a sergeant major had no relatives. They were afraid that he’d end up in a pauper’s grave.<\/p>\n

City officials have stepped up for the veteran who couldn’t step up for himself;<\/p>\n

Two of Hall’s cousins were eventually found in Somerset, Kentucky. Donations from the coroner, police, prosecutor, the cemetery and a funeral home are making it happen. <\/p>\n

“If anyone is a veteran or interested in coming out, we’d really appreciate it,” Young said. “It will be great to have him sent off in a proper and respectful manner.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re going to be in the area, the funeral is scheduled for October 12th at 11AM in the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery in Radcliff, with full military honors. Our thanks to Radcliff officials who are taking care of our brother for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
