The news that 3 good men, 3 family men, 3 fellow servicemen were killed saddens me deeply. They, having given that last full measure of devotion, enjoin us never to forget the sacrifices made for this cause and the greater good of all men. I too hope they rest in a peace well deserved. As I sit here in the security they fought to provide, I am humbled. This evening, as Taps sounds across the base, my thoughts will be with their families and comrades.

The Patriot Guard Riders will be providing escort from the airport, to Clay, WV; this phase of the mission is now scheduled for Tuesday morning, 7 October 2008. Initial staging will take place at the 7-Eleven store on Washington Street, adjacent to the capitol. Take exit 99 off I64 (Greenbrier Street), turn down the hill towards the capitol and 7-Eleven will be on your right. http://tinyurl.com/3q5atg
Staging time is 10:45 am, and we will pull out at 11:05; the airport is only a few minutes away. Please be fueled up and ready to go at 11:05, and please remember to bring your 3x5 flags.
Jamie will arrive at the Executive Air terminal in Charleston; those familiar with the airport are free to just meet us there by 11:15. After plane-side honors have been completed, the PGR and law enforcement officials will provide escort to Clay, WV. The roundtrip between Charleston and Clay will last approximately 3 hours.
The location of the funeral service is the Clay County High School, located at 1 Panther Drive, Clay, WV 25043 Phone: (304) 587-4226. The school is located one mile south of Clay, WV, on Route 16.

According to information provided by Buddy Palla (ASC-South / RC), access to the cemetery will require transit on a well-groomed dirt road through the woods, of about .3 of a mile, in order to reach the grave site. He rode into the cemetery this evening to ensure motorcycle navigation would not be an issue. Parking will be on an earthen surface, so kickstand plates will be necessary.
Please continue to monitor this thread for final staging instructions, to include locations and times.

A moment of silence...

A moment of silence to honor the character and leadership required to stare death to the end with integrity....

I can only pray for the strength and humility required to take up the torch in their stead with but a fraction of their greatness.

Thank you, men, for your service.
