Fallen Soldier's Funeral Services
Wichita Falls, TX (August 30, 2010) -- Members of the
Patriot Guard Riders from Oklahoma and North Texas began to
arrive at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, to the somber
tolling of the Texas Liberty Bell. Hundreds of mourners came
to pay their final respects of An American Hero. Family
members, friends, fellow veterans, and even strangers were
unified in honoring this young warrior.
The family chose to conduct his funeral services at a church
surrounded by members of the Patriot Guard Riders with their
flags snapping in the morning breeze. After the church
services the procession made it way to the Sacred Heart
Cemetery. The procession was greeted by two long flag line
down the driveway to the Staging area for the public
ceremony.
The family later held a private graveside service.
