      The article informs that high school pallbearer ministries show mercy to those who have died alone. It is noted that high school senior Joshua Gonzalez was one of six students to serve as a pallbearer at the memorial service honoring three veterans Joseph Michael Fitzryk, Ronald Lee LaValley and Melvin R. Wilbourn. The National Alliance to End Homelessness has revealed that there were 49,933 homeless veterans counted in the U.S. in 2014.
