VFW honor guard pays last respects to county’s veterans

Huntington County Tab:

They've buried all the World War I veterans; now, they're putting the guys from World War II in the ground.

Occasionally, they'll gather to pay their last respects to a contemporary, bonded by common service in a more recent war.

"Just about every cemetery you go to now, there's somebody in it we helped bury," says Jerry Walling, a Vietnam veteran who heads up the honor guard of Huntington's Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2689.
Even his own era is not exempt.
