The Massachusetts National Cemetery would like to share with you that we will be honoring eight unaccompanied Veterans that have recently been laid to rest. The service will take place on Wednesday, March 25th at 09:00.
Military honors will be conducted on behalf of the following Veterans:
• PVT Donald E. Kasias US Army World War II
• SP4 Woodrow P. Phelan US Army Vietnam
• CPL David P. Czech US Marine Corps Vietnam
• SP5 Richard V. Cubetus US Army Vietnam
• SP4 Bruce E. Schager US Army Vietnam
• PV2 Wendy R. Trezise US Army Vietnam
• PV1 Francis P. Thornton US Army and US Navy
• SSG George M. Wise US Army
The names of each Veteran will be read; the United States Army Honors team will present the flag to a volunteer who will receive the flag on behalf of all the Veterans and provide live Taps if available, if not, the electronic bugle will be used.
This short, yet meaningful ceremony will ensure those who served and sacrificed are honored for their service to this great nation. Your presence continues to reinforce our commitment that no Veteran should take this final journey alone.
It is our hope that all cemetery employees will be present along with any individuals wishing to attend. Feel free to invite anyone you wish.
