The community in El Paso, Texas gathered together on Friday, April 11 for the funeral of Specialist William Martucci, a U.S. Army veteran. Was his funeral full of family and dear friends who knew him all his life? No, he was laid to rest without known family- but he certainly wasn’t alone.
The unaccompanied burial took place at Fort Bliss National Cemetery with full military honors and strong public support thanks to the people of El Paso. The funeral was at risk of being empty, but with the swift action of El Paso’s very own TMZ, FitFam, who sent out an alert through Instagram that Martucci’s funeral would be unattended, many stepped up.
