Hundreds of Good Samaritans paid their respects to a Korean War veteran who was buried without any immediate family at his funeral.

Hezekiah Perkins, 90, was laid to rest at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati on Saturday.

The cemetery posted notices asking members of the public to attend Perkins’s funeral since he did not have any immediate family who could attend.

Lynay Straughn, an employee of the cemetery said once she learned his daughter and other family members would not be able to attend – his daughter due to health issues – she felt it was very fitting that this soldier receive long overdue honors.

Spring Grove also arranged for soldiers from nearby Fort Knox, Kentucky to give Perkins full military honors.
