Full chapel at funeral for homeless veteran | 11alive.com

CASPER, WYOMING – Connie Jacobson didn’t know what to expect when she told a local newspaper about the body of a Vietnam veteran, that had recently arrived inside her office. The Natrona County Coroner was used to the scrambling that typically came with the job of finding next of kin. Family members of homeless veterans were sometimes tricky to track down. But this case was particularly difficult. She had a name and not much else. : Stephen Reiman

Maybe a story could generate some leads. And maybe, if nothing turned up, she could see if the community of Casper would come out to his funeral service planned for the following week. The headline said it all.

“Vietnam vet with no known family to be buried in Casper; coroner hopes people will attend his funeral,” it read.

News reports indicate that hundreds of people from Wyoming attended this homeless veteran's funeral.

Thank you for your service Mr Reiman.... and God Bless the people of Wyoming!

Damn! I hate it when I cry at work. I love you, Wyoming, and the freedoms and national consciousness you uphold. As long as there is a Wyoming and people there willing to cling to traditional American values and honor those who should be honored, there is hope for this country. Thank you.

I am very proud of those who went beyond anything one might expect to give him a funeral and to find his family.
