Residents gathered over the weekend to honor a man who they did not know.

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Leroy C. Cloud, 24, of Thrall, killed during World War II, was buried at Taylor City Cemetery Saturday, April 6.

Cloud’s remains were flown into Taylor after the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency used DNA analysis to account for the soldier. His body was marked as an unidentified soldier for eight decades.
