Robert A. Maynard is one of 36 Veterans honored and laid to rest at Tahoma National Cemetery in a public ceremony held on Tuesday, July 29th, 2014.
The King County Medical Examiner's office works to locate next of kin for each indigent veteran they are responsible for. When they cannot locate anyone, they work with the staff of the Veterans Administration, Cady Cremation Services and the Tahoma National Cemetery to make sure they are buried honorably with their fellow serviceman and woman. While some were homeless, others did not have any family members to claim their remains and arrange for a military service.
King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn attended the ceremony and read the names of those honored. Dunn stated, "I felt it was important that even though they died without a loved one available to care for their remains, that we as a community step forward to honor each individually for their service to our Country."
The ceremony included a full Veterans Service Organization Honor Guard and an honor guard comprised of representatives from each branch of the armed services.
