All veterans deserve a good funeral when the time comes. If you give your life to serving your country, you should get a respectful and dignified send-off.<\/p>\n

Sadly, not every vet has family or friends at the time of death, but that doesn\u2019t mean they have to be buried alone. When one air force vet died, a group of kind high school seniors stepped up to carry his casket.<\/p>\n

Ralph Lambert, a retired US Air Force veteran, died in Louisiana on February 8 at the age of 94, reported\u00a0KALB<\/a>. Sadly, he had no friends or family who could attend his funeral.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Lambert served his country for over twenty years, from 1950 to 1971, and it seemed heartbreaking to think the vet would be buried with no one around to honor him.<\/p>\n

But when a local high school baseball coach named Jordan Marks heard about the veteran\u2019s situation, he stepped in to help. He recruited six members of his team, all seniors at Menard High School, to attend the funeral and carry Lambert\u2019s casket.<\/p>\n
