Coach Steps In
Jordan Marks, a local high school baseball coach, learned about Lambert’s situation and decided to take action. “I picked the six seniors we have. I try to teach them the game of baseball but also the game of life, and anytime we can serve a community member or especially somebody that served for our country, we are more than happy to do it,” said Marks, as reported by KPLC-TV.

Marks enlisted six seniors from Menard High School’s baseball team to attend Lambert’s burial and carry his coffin. The students, Ashton Veade, Cameron Kinder, Jacob Giordano, Jackson Ford, Ashton Brodnax, and Hunter Foster, served as pallbearers for the veteran. The flag-draped casket was carried to the Central Louisiana Veterans Cemetery in a poignant ceremony.
A Lesson in Life
Senior Jacob Giordano expressed it was an honor to be a pallbearer for a veteran without family or friends. Cameron Kinder highlighted the often-overlooked reality of people living without families and was glad to provide an honorable farewell to Lambert.
