Description
Military veterans without families often face a burial without the respected honor they deserve.
But The Patriot Guard Riders is changing that.
Each year, more than 2,600 veterans and their spouses are buried each year at the Miramar National Cemetery. But for the veterans without families, they don't receive full military honors. The Patriot Guard Riders say these heroes may have been forgotten but their service will be remembered.
Honor Flight San Diego board member and volunteer Mel Taitano has recited the the Old Glory poem many times but this is her first time doing it during the burial for five veterans without families at the Miramar National Cemetery.
