- Recently, a woman posted to a local Nashville Facebook group after the passing of her great-uncle, a Navy veteran named Donald Harlow who passed away at the age of 88.
- Harlow was survived by very few family members. His great-niece put out a request to the community, asking anyone who was interested to come to his funeral to honor the veteran.
- Her plea caught the attention of country music star John Rich, who is known for his support of our military and veterans and promised to be there if he could.
- The plea went viral here in Nashville, being picked up by the media and the local VFW.
- On Wednesday (Jan. 8) hundreds of mourners arrived at the Veterans Cemetery to pay their final respects to a man who put his life on the line for our freedom.
- Jon Rich made it to the funeral, and posted a video from the scene on X. His Big & Rich partner, Big Kenny, joined him.
- “Thanks to all the Patriots who came out to honor US Navy Veteran, Mr Donald Harlow, at his funeral today. We thank him for his service, and our thoughts are with his family. No Veteran should ever be buried alone,” he captioned his post.
