A funeral domestic will provide complete navy burial for a Vietnam veteran who died without family

(CNN)A South Carolina funeral home will provide a burial provider for a Vietnam War veteran who died without every person to give a funeral for him.

Petty Officer Third Class James Miske, seventy-five, died on May 26, 2019, in Columbia, South Carolina. Though he was not homeless when he died, he had no family capable of making his last preparations.
Caughman-Harman Funeral Homes will provide a burial provider with full navy honors for Miske on June 14 at Fort Jackson National Cemetery in Columbia. The funeral domestic encouraged the public to wait for the carrier to function in Miske’s family.

The Dignity Memorial Homeless Veteran Program supports the offerings, a joint attempt using Dignity Memorial funeral houses, the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and veteran’s companies to offer all unclaimed veterans a very last salute.
Funeral director William Lynch started a chapter of this system on the funeral domestic in July 2018.
“We had a homeless veteran that handed away here in our region in South Carolina,” Lynch said. “After I saw that and the period it took for a person to step forward and find a way to hold services for him, I figured there had to be a higher way to move about it.”

Miske’s service on Friday will include the sixth funeral the house has held for an unclaimed veteran.
The funeral home says Miske was born in Chicago, Illinois 1944. He became on energetic duty with the United States Navy from 1965 to 1967 and served in the Naval Reserve.

Mike obtained a National Defense Service Medal and a Vietnam Service Medal, consistent with the funeral home. The Vietnam Service Medal was presented to all militia participants who served in Vietnam between July three, 1965, and March 28, 1973.
The National Defense Service Medal is offered to all contributors of the militia who served at some point during a national emergency.
