MISSION At 11 a.m. sharp Nov. 2, the Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery will conduct an Unaccompanied Veteran Burial for U.S. Navy Veteran Hull Maintenance Technician 3rd Class (HT3) Bobby Grant Casey. Born on Nov. 15, 1954, HT3 Casey served from August 1974 to September 1980.
HT3 Casey is not expected to have any next-of-kin attend his burial. The Veterans Land Board wants to spread the word and ensure that this U.S. Navy veteran is not buried alone. Members of the Mission community are encouraged to attend, a news release said.
HT3 Casey 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.
