-- A World War II veteran with no family had dozens of people attend his funeral Tuesday.
One-hundred-year-old Eugene Dednam was an American hero. He was a recipient of numerous medals across six campaigns during World War II, whose story was almost forgotten when he died alone in his Hackensack home this April. Hicks said Dednam was a fiercely independent man, who even as a centennial tried doing everything himself. He had no siblings and never married.
"It's just, for me, it's a small expression of appreciation to a generation that's almost gone," Warner told CBS2's Christina Fan.
