Military community rallies around Vietnam vet at his funeral
How the military community came together to make sure an unclaimed veteran would not be forgotten in Tennessee.
A Marine Corps veteran who was listed as "unclaimed" after he died had hundreds show up at his funeral last week in Tennessee to make sure he wasn't forgotten.
Leo Stokley, 69, of Murfreesboro, Tenn. died on Nov. 4 at a nursing home in Ashland City, according to his obituary posted by the Boyd Funeral Home.
Stokley was born on June 5, 1949 in Greenville, S.C. and served in the U.S. Marine Corps, completing a tour of duty in Vietnam. The veteran was set to be buried with military honors on Nov. 9 at the at the Middle Tennessee Veteran’s Cemetery in Pegram when staff members at the Cheatham County Veterans Service Office learned he was an "unclaimed" veteran"
“When we found out that he was considered an unclaimed veteran, which means he has no family, we wanted to make sure that he got claimed,” Bob Counter told The Tennessean.
Counter, an Air Force veteran, initially posted about it on the Cheatham County Veterans Service official Facebook page.
