🇺🇸 A HERO SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN 🇺🇸

URGENT CALL TO ACTION - Please Read and Share

Next Tuesday, May 19th at 10:00 AM, Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery will hold a service for Harry Levin, an unclaimed WWII Army Veteran with no known family.

Harry served our nation during World War II, answering the call when America needed him most. Now, as he is laid to rest, we have the opportunity to ensure he is not forgotten - that he receives the honor and recognition he deserves.

We are asking our community, veterans, and patriots to fill the shelter seats and stand in support of this WWII hero. Let's show Harry Levin that his service mattered, that his sacrifice is remembered, and that he is not alone.

📅 Tuesday, May 19th
🕙 10:00 AM
📍 Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery

No WWII veteran should be laid to rest without a proper farewell. Please attend if you can and share this post widely. Let's give Harry the sendoff a hero deserves.

🔄 PLEASE SHARE - Help us pack the shelter for Harry Levin
