Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Thirty-eight veterans who died without family will be honored Thursday with a public ceremony and military burial. The Forgotten Heroes Program, led by state and local agencies, ensures these unclaimed veterans receive the respect they earned. The memorial starts at 9 a.m. at Legacy Church at 4701 Wyoming Blvd NE in Albuquerque, followed by a burial with full honors at Santa Fe National Cemetery. Organizers say each veteran had a story, and this ceremony is a final salute to their service and lives.
