KILLEEN, — On Wednesday, November 12 at 11:00 a.m. sharp, the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery will conduct an Unaccompanied Veteran Burial for U.S. Army Specialist 4 (SP4) Jeffery Wayne Jones. Born on November 19, 1959, SP4 Jones served from September 1977 to February 1986. SP4 Jones received the Good Conduct Medal and the Overseas Service Ribbon for this service to our country.
SP4 Jones is not expected to have any next-of-kin attend his burial. Please help us spread the word and ensure that this U.S. Army Veteran is not buried alone. Members of the Killeen community are encouraged to attend.
SP4 Jones will receive military honors. If no next-of-kin is present at the burial, a Veterans Land Board Representative will accept the United States flag on his behalf.
The Texas Veterans Land Board works with the local communities and fellow Veterans service organizations to ensure NO Veteran is EVER left behind.
