The Texas General Land Office is asking community members to attend an unaccompanied veteran burial at Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery on May 27.<\/p>\n
KILLEEN, Texas \u2014 With Memorial Day still fresh in the minds of Central Texans, the Texas Veterans Land Board and the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery are asking for the community’s help paying respects to a fallen soldier.<\/p>\n
The Texas Veterans Land Board, part of the Texas General Land Office, has invited the Central Texas community to join them for an unaccompanied veteran burial on Wednesday, May 27.<\/p>\n
The Veterans Land Board said U.S. Army Specialist Dale Carl Wiese will be buried at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen at 11 a.m. on May 27. Spc. Wiese is not expected to have any next-of-kin attend his burial, so the Land Board is asking community members to ensure that he is not buried alone.<\/p>\n

During his service, Wiese received the Army Commendation Medal W\/1 Oak Leaf Cluster, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, NCO Professional Development Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon and Driver and Mechanic Badge.<\/p>\n
Wiese will receive military honors at the burial, according to the Land Office. If no next-of-kin is present, a Texas Veterans Land Board Representative will receive the flag on his behalf.<\/p>\n
