KILLEEN— On Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen will conduct an Unaccompanied Veteran Burial for Technical Sergeant (TSGT) Joseph David Martin. Born on June 28, 1951, TSGT Martin served from January 1973 to January 1993. TSGT Martin received the AF Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, AF Good Conduct Medal w/5 OLC, and Overseas Service Ribbon, for his service to our country.
TSGT Martin is not expected to have any next-of-kin attend his burial. Please help us spread the word and ensure that this U.S. Air Force Veteran is not buried alone. Members of the Killeen community are encouraged to attend.
TSGT Martin will receive military honors. If no next-of-kin is present at the burial, a Veterans Land Board Representative will accept the United States flag on his behalf.
The Texas Veterans Land Board works with the local communities and fellow Veterans service organizations to ensure NO Veteran is EVER left behind.
