Today, Texas Veterans Land Board Chairman George P. Bush announced that on Monday, April 1, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. SHARP, the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery in Corpus Christi, Texas will conduct an Unaccompanied Veteran burial for SGT Andrew Cavazos Ybarra. Ybarra served in the United States Air Force from 1975 to 1979.
Ybarra is not expected to have anyone attend his funeral. Please help us spread the word and ensure that our United States Air Force Veteran is not buried alone. Members of the Coastal Bend community are welcome to attend.
Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery staff has coordinated with the local honor guard to ensure that Ybarra will receive full military honors. If no next-of-kin presents themselves at the ceremony, the On-Site Representative of the Veterans Land Board will accept the United States flag on Ybarra’s behalf.
The Texas Veterans Land Board works with the local community and fellow Veterans service organizations to ensure that NO Veteran is EVER left behind. Please join us to honor his life and service with a full military burial.
Please consider sharing our social media posts to help notify the community on both Facebook and Twitter.
