From staff reports
More than 100 people showed up Tuesday, June 24 at Beaufort National Cemetery for the unclaimed committal service for U.S. Army SP4 Horrell White.
“Thank you to the over 100 people who took time out their busy days to help us honor and remember SP4 Horrell White,” the Cemetery posted on Facebook. “Thanks also to all those who were with us in spirit. “
According to Beaufort National Cemetery, Horrell was a Vietnam War veteran who died late last year at the age of 76.
In its Facebook post announcing the event, Beaufort National Cemetery said White wasn’t “an unclaimed veteran service in the traditional sense.” His family had been located, but due to “unavoidable circumstances,” could not claim their loved one.”
According to Beaufort National Cemetery, White is interred in Columbarium 1, Row E, Niche 23.
