Sorry for his passing to give so much and have no family is sad. We thank him and God Bless him, and I am sure someone will take care of his dogs which he loved.
So sad. If I still lived there I would go. Hope others do.
Hope the good people in Salisbury give him a good send off. I'll be at work or I would be there.
I am going.
RIP, Brother.
And thank you, Housing First.
People show up if you can.
RIP brother, thank you for your service!
We're is the local VFW and the AMERICAN LEGION ??????????
They Don't care anymore it's all about the Booze really sad.
Right! Shouldn't the VFW and American Legion show some respect with giving this gentleman a proper sendoff? They aren't what they used to be. What a shame.
Are you a member of of the VFW. Where you ever in the military. Why do you expect an organization to come forward all the time. You enjoy the freedom he fought for. Show your respect and attend.
? What's the POINT of these organization if they CAN'T/WON'T help there OWN pretty disgraceful that all these organizations care about is $$$$$$$$$$$ but when real Veteras like this needs help and brotherhood these so called organizations are are like CRICKETS.
100% correct
I am a member of A VFW and it is disgraceful and I am sad to say that they Have become nothing more than a bunch of drinking institutions and after all the benefits they do they have NO money for issues like this so WHERE IS THE MONEY ? If they can't even HELP THERE OWN.SMFH.
I wish I would have seen this already. Breaks my heart that I couldn't attend. My father was a Korean War vet as well.
I've never heard of Housing First Salisbury Maryland?
FYI There was 50+ people who attended this mans funeral! We had members of Post 64 American Legion,members of Post 194 VFW other Posts also attended. We had Brothers at Arms, Employees from Hebron Savings Bank. A proper service was provided. Mr Tom Cropper did the opening and closing prayer. Several people spoke of this man very kind person.
Even our Mayor came and shared good words.
God speed Mr. Burk.
When we saw this yesterday. We made sure that a couple of VFW 10159 auxiliary members were there.
The presence of the dog was touching as well.
It was a nice turnout
Me either. What is the organization about
You're absolutely correct!! The VFW and American legion are a joke. Just a bunch of alcoholics wanting cheap meals and drinks. And don't even try to get up with the disabled veterans representative in(Price) Salisbury he's never in his office and good luck getting a return call or help with filing a claim
YEAH THANKS TO THE POSTER AND SBYNEWS FOR EXPOSING THEM.
The mayor calls himself a veteran and patriot BUT sides with Anti AMERICAN values ?????????????????
Great point.
Thank you sbynews and if you EVER know a veteran in distress email sbynews.
833
The mayor only showed up to the veterans funeral bc he is a media Whore if he really was a true veteran he would Never be a DemocRAT in 2019.
Thank you sbynews for putting pressure on these organizations to show up for a fellow veteran but it should never have to come down to calling them out to do the right thing (
Did someone actually contact the VFW and American Legion? If they were not contacted how would they know about it. Seems like they did show up once they found out.
Better question is how did the Mayor find out? Does he read Salisbury News even though he claims he doesn't?
He reads it for sure
You people need to keep up. Housing first is an entity derived in the simple mind of Jake Day. It's Salisbury's implementation to combat homelessness. Just one more drain on your tax dollars. Don't try to get anthing done about your roads or 100 year old infrastructure unless you live near the college then all your needs are met
I heard Powellville VFW may be closing.
What's most important is that many of you made a difference. I personally think it's great Jake Day showed up. Regardless of what some might say on a political level, the man took the time to support a fellow service member/veteran.
How can Day be a DemocRAT and push social communism ?
THE EXACT THING HE SUPPOSED TO STOP WHILE SWEARING ON THE CONSTITUTION ? DEMS talk out of BOTH sides of there mouths like I have said x 4 yrs DEMOCRATS ARE THE NEW DOMESTIC TERRORISTS TO AMERICA.
The American Legion and the VFW were there. Know what your talking about before making statements. Service officers are volunteers with the legion and the VFW.They are not paid.If you need help to file a claim, I can help you. Im with American Legion Post 64. 410 7499814 leave me a message I will return the call. Stop accusing us of being drunks. We have many programs at our post Youth shooting program,youth archery,Flag retirement, Flag placement in cemeteries and a yearly wounded warrior hunting and fishing excursion here on the eastern shore. This is just a few of the things we do. Some of you should put your money where your mouth is and come out and volunteer. Wicomico county has three other American Legions that do some programs also.
The POINT was Nobody would have showed up if it wasn't for the poster I know for a FACT that VFW AND THE LEGION have stopped giving $$$$ for funerals bc they state they are BROKE why isn't there a in house fund for such issues ? Last year the EXACT same thing happened where a veteran had No money upfront for his own funeral bc his insurance was not matured the local VFW AND LEGION DID NOTHING $$$$$$$$ PRETTY FN SAD.
