He calls it a hobby, but John Lawler finds the graves of #veterans not documented. It is a challenging job, that takes a lot of time and walking. He does it, to make sure they are never forgotten. @BN9
“You like to find the name, because then you can find closure for someone else,” said Lawler. He found 3 graves not documented when we went out with him. But recently he made an even more incredible find! @BN9
“We found Henry Van Demps, at Garden of Peace cemetery in Plant City, and he had no marker,” said Lawler. Records also showed he never was given military honors. Because of Lawler, Plant City will give him full military honors on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. at Garden of Peace Cemetery.
