BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- A family in Brevard County is outraged over how its war veteran father was laid to rest. Not only did it take a month for the burial to happen, the man was buried without the family knowing it.
Marine and Korean War veteran Walter Spears, Sr. died of natural causes on June 14th at a nursing home in Titusville. But for Spears' family, it was only the beginning of a frustrating fight to lay him to rest.
"Nobody wants to 'fess up and admit they were wrong by overlooking my father," said Rodger Spears.
Spears' body had been sitting in a Rockledge funeral home for nearly a month, even though his family says the Veterans Affairs Department promised Spears a military burial.
