Unaccompanied Veteran Burial for U.S. Air Force Veteran Gregory Paul McPherson

McPherson 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 Abilene community are encouraged to attend.

McPherson 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.
