Army vet to be buried alone Wednesday – public urged to attend

A U.S. veteran with no known family has passed away, and his community is asking for the public to attend his funeral so he won’t be buried alone.

U.S. Army Spc. Hugh Gary Bryan passed away recently and authorities did not discover any next of kin to notify, so he has been declared an “Unaccompanied Veteran” with no one expected to attend his funeral, according to the Texas General Land Office.

Services for Bryan will be held Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 11:00 a.m. at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen, Texas.
