Hundreds of people stood in the chilly air of Omaha National Cemetery on Tuesday to honor a Vietnam veteran who died seemingly alone.

A line of cars stretched from the cemetery along Highway 50 to Interstate 80 at 2 p.m. Tuesday, the scheduled start time for the interment. People in military fatigues, Vietnam veteran jackets and civilian attire packed the hillside, waiting in near silence to honor a 73-year-old veteran they did not know.

Hundreds brave the cold to honor Vietnam veteran who died with few known family members

Many people die like that...Just no one to remember them. We always called them Sgt Nobuddy.

I've met a lot of good dudes from all walks of life that were there.

Damn I hate dirty hippies!

Even my hippie-ish friends that went there..nowhere near as bad as dirty hippies.

Warms my heart to see the outpouring of respect for a man who served his country with honor.

According to what was said in an earlier chat about this man's passing, he didn't have any family members.

God bless you always!!!

Wish this would have been a bigger national headline, but I'm glad it has gotten the attention it has.

It is truly encouraging when we see fellow Americans do something like this. Long live America! and God save President Trump.

Collective guilt? Did the same people spit on him when he returned from Vietnam?

There’s a reason why veterans vote for conservatives… Progressives are a bunch of ******* cowards

Obama visited Troops in Iraq just a few months after starting office, and Afghanistan visit later.
But our Troops today really love cadet bone spurs, dont they?
