Last month, veteran Henry Thornton Jr. was laid to rest without any military honors. Thanks to fellow veterans, the local hero finally received those honors during a special ceremony Friday.
The organization that renders those military honors said they are in desperate need of volunteers as the demand continues to increase in the Indianapolis area. We were averaging just under 300 funerals a year and now we feel pretty confident that unfortunately, we will eclipse 600 this year, said Commander Ron Montague.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Military Honor Guard (IMMHG) formed in 2014. The nonprofit organization only has 24 members right now and are currently spreading themselves thin in order to fulfill requests from Hoosier families.

Man arrested after tiger spotted on lawn in Houston but animal remains on the loose Laura Sharman
A Texas man on bail for murder was returned to custody after neighbours spotted his alleged pet tiger wandering along a residential street in Houston.
Victor Hugo Cuevas, 26, was arrested and charged with felony evading arrest on Monday, according to Houston Police Department (HPD), in the US.
Police said they believed the tiger belonged to Cuevas but his attorney questioned the accuracy of that belief.
Cuevas also apparently had two monkeys in the home, according to Commander Ron Borza.
He added that he believed Cuevas had been on bail, set at $250,000, for a murder in Fort Bend County in November 2020.
