Korean War Veteran Hezekiah Perkins, 90, will be buried at 3 p.m. Saturday in Cincinnati’s Spring Grove Cemetery — Section 137, Lot 318, Space 1.
He has no immediate family living in the area, officials said, and the public is invited to his services.
Mr. Perkins not only served his country but took responsibility for his own fate. It’s reported that he actually planned his own eventual funeral services and paid for them twenty years in advance, not leaving a financial burden for others when his time came.
I realize that this is coming on short notice because the funeral is at 3:00 pm today. But do you live in the greater Cincinnati area? Or do you perhaps have friends or family members in the vicinity that you could shoot a quick email to or ring up on the phone? It’s Memorial Day weekend, and I know most people probably have plans to kick off the unofficial start to summer with a barbeque or other festivities, but isn’t it a fitting time to show up and send off someone who gave so much for our nation? (This Google Maps key can be used/sent for people to obtain directions to the cemetery. It’s Section 137, Lot 318, Space 1.)
All they have to do is contact Army WTF moments on FB and they will put out the call....they have not failed a warrior with no family yet.
