There is a call for people to come to Thompson on Friday to honor a Korean War veteran who has no living relatives in Connecticut.
Lussier served honorably as a member of the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
With no living family in Connecticut, a group of veterans and the CT American Legion have come together to make sure Lussier is given a burial with full military honors.
The funeral will take place Friday at 9 a.m. at the East Thompson Cemetery, 290 East Thompson Road, in Thompson.
The group is encouraging members of the public to come to the cemetery to pay their respects to Lussier.
