Crystal Chatham's Message: What happens when a veteran passes away and has no known next of kin to coordinate a funeral, witness military honors or accept the folded flag?

Desert Sun reporter Denise Goolsby and I spent a moving day at Riverside National Cemetery and witnessed as military honors were presented for six such veterans with a crowd of Patriot Guard and American Legion Riders stepping up as family. Veteran is not just a title - it's signifies a brotherhood and a family. They died alone, but were buried with their brothers.
