The Washington Crossing National Cemetery along with the Guardians of the National Cemetery, the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, local chaplains, and the Warrior’s Watch have combined to pay formal last respects to those Veterans interred at Washington Crossing National Cemetery during the month who had no one witness their interment.

We refer to this ‘honor’ as our “Unattended Service’. On the last Thursday of each month at 2:00 PM, we have a full military funeral honors service at which time those interred without any visitors at their interment have their name, rank and branch of service read aloud as a show of our respect and appreciation for their service.

This service is open to the public. We generally have in excess of 50 people present. We invite you to join us for this final ‘honor’ due these less fortunate veterans.

**Unattended Veterans are those who were never claimed by family or who were left on a coroner’s shelf. Not everyone has family or, at least, family who chooses to keep in touch. This is held monthly except for November and December. It runs about 15 minutes and starts at 2pm. Get there prior to that time.**

**This takes place the last Thursday each month except for November and December. I will attend some, but consider this unhosted. Any questions, contact the Commander at 215-771-7301**
