COLORADO SPRINGS — An El Paso County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post is looking for people to attend an Air Force veteran’s funeral Friday.

In a Facebook post, Cheyenne Mountain VFW Post 3917 said Staff Sgt. Clyde Baldwin has no known family members. He served from 1950 to 1970.

He will be laid to rest at 9 a.m. Friday at Pikes Peak National Cemetery.

“Please help get the word out for a good showing,” the VFW post wrote.
