Service for Two Vietnam Veterans with No Known Next of Kin

Please join the Omaha National Cemetery and the Final Salute Society on Friday, June 22, 2018 for a 1 p.m. committal service for Vietnam Veterans, PVT Eugen Thenemann (USMC) and ET1 Thomas Hill (USN) whose service will be jointly conducted and will include military honors, rifle salute, honor guard and the playing of Taps.

As difficult as it is to accept, there are veterans in our area who die and have no known family present for a proper “final salute”.  You can help us ensure that veterans who die under these circumstances are given the dignified service and burials that they deserve by attending services when they are announced.

If you plan to attend, please gather at cortege lane 1 at the Administrative Building/Public Information Center (PIC) at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled service time.
