Hundreds Attend Funeral of WWII Veteran Who Was Beaten to Death
Police believe two teens killed Delbert Belton
Hundreds of people attended the funeral of a World War II veteran who police say was beaten to death by two teens last week in a random robbery.
88-year-old Delbert Belton was buried with full military honors Thursday at a cemetery in Spokane.
Friends remembered Belton as a kind man who loved to dance, play pool and work on cars. Dozens of American flags flew near his grave and a vocalist sang "We'll Meet Again."
