Richard Scott will have no family at his funeral.

They are inviting the community to attend the burial of the U.S. Navy veteran at the cemetery 11 a.m. Wednesday, according to a news release. Scott will receive full military honors.

"Together as a community, we can guarantee that no veteran is ever left behind," the release reads.

The NJROTC unit at Tuloso-Midway High School will also attend Scott's funeral to honor him. The Patriot Guard Riders of South Texas are also expected to attend.
