Edit: The man shown in the photo is Bradley Faulkner, a truck driver and U.S. Army veteran.
On Friday, Bradley Faulkner, a truck driver and U.S. Army veteran, pulled his rig over on Highway 70 outside St. Louis, exited his cab and placed his hand over his heart.
The procession for Fred Ladage was headed to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis.
Ladage’s grandaughter, Kristen Collins, posted a photo of Faulkner with his hand on his chest on her Facebook page on Friday.
“Being a veteran didn’t change anything about the situation,” said Faulkner, who left the Army in February. “If I had known it was a funeral for anybody, I would have stopped and done that…. I’m born and raised in Tennessee. Down there that’s just what they do. Anytime you see a funeral coming down the road, you stop your vehicle.”
