Somehow his wheel chair didn&#8217;t make the trip. A selfless employee at the National Cemetery offered to carry the frail veteran on his back;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The employee, who wishes to remain anonymous, did just that. Boone&#8217;s son, Jon Boone, documented the scene as the employee brought him to his wife&#8217;s gravesite.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was such a caring young fellow, I felt like a toy in his arms,&#8221; he told FOX5&#8230;&#8221;I would like him to know how greatly I appreciate what he did,&#8221; he said. &#8220;His kindness was overwhelming.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" src=\"https:\/\/w3.cdn.anvato.net\/player\/prod\/v3\/anvload.html?key=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\"  width =\"500\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Fox5, 96-year-old George Boone, a B-24 pilot who became a POW when he was &hellip; <a title=\"Selfless Arlington employee helps veteran visit his wife&#8217;s grave\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=79187\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Selfless Arlington employee helps veteran visit his wife&#8217;s grave<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-support-the-troops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=79187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/79188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=79187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
