CORPUS CHRISTI— On Friday, March 7, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. sharp, the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery will conduct an Unaccompanied Veteran Burial for Airman James Downing Johnson. Born on August 10, 1938, Airman Johnson served in the U.S. Navy from August 1955 to November 1959.
Airman Johnson is not expected to have any next-of-kin attend his burial. Please help us spread the word and ensure that this U.S. Navy Veteran is not buried alone. Members of the Corpus Christi community are encouraged to attend.
Airman Johnson 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.
