Kenneth Biggs served our country bravely in Desert Storm, the 1991 campaign to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait. When Biggs passed away recently, with no family left to mourn him, the call went out to the good people of Tennessee to show up and give Biggs the patriotic farewell he deserved.
A Call for Attendance has been issued for an unaccompanied veteran funeral on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 11:00 AM.

And show up they did. At least 300 people — all of them strangers — came out to honor Kenneth Biggs and celebrate his life.
Let's just say, Tennessee showed UP for a Desert Storm veteran Kenneth Biggs! At least 300 random strangers came to celebrate this brave hero.

Rest in peace, Kenneth. It was a pleasure being able to share this experience with so many others. pic.twitter.com/UpLcilk7rK
Even the office staff attended.
God's honest truth, I had a delivery at the Cemetery office today. I got there at 11:15. There was no one in the whole office. I left the delivey in the front office. I'm assuming all the personnel were at the funeral. Wish I could have been there. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/TnPdCaAgW6

Well done, indeed.
It's not the first time Americans have stepped up to honor veterans. In May, crowds showed up to pay respects to WWII Navy veteran John Bernard Arnold III, and in March, Lonnie D. Wayman was laid to rest in Nashville with hundreds of strangers in attendance.
