No one should die alone. Especially someone who served and fought for his country. More than 1,000 people showed up at the funeral of a military veteran who had no family in Indianapolis. Men saluted him as he laid at rest and people gathered to honor his memory. It was standing room only at the solemn event and Billy Aldridge was given a dignified and eloquent funeral by people who really care. Billy C. Aldridge, a U.S. Marine Corp veteran, died at a local nursing facility on Oct. 14 at the age of 80. The nursing home had no records of any family, but those who attended said he had one on Tuesday. “He served our country and gave us the freedoms that we have and the privileges that we have today,” said Patrice Gehring who attended the funeral. Yes he did… and in the end all of these people were there for Billy. He was not alone after all.
