SAN ANTONIO - They served their country, yet ended up without a home and without family to be found.

Wednesday, three homeless veterans were buried at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery -

U.S. Air Force veteran Peyton Brown, 51,

U.S. Army veteran Craig Burton, 57,

U.S. Navy veteran Richard Owen, 71.

Of the nearly fifty veterans in attendance at the burial, none had ever met any of the three, and yet they came.

"We are their family,” said John Rodriguez.

The former Marine and Vietnam War veteran has attended nearly 150 military funerals for homeless men and woman.

He said their service deserves his respect.
