The PGR have posted a Slide Show of both the escort from Addison Airport to the Funeral Home on the 9th, and the Ceremonies on the 10th. It was a rather damp ride, but the rain quit just before we got to the Cemetary.

Thank you for posting the pictures. I am glad my home town did us proud. I wish I could have come to the services.

RIP Jeremy
 

Jeremy was with my team last year in Mazzar-e-Sharrif Afghanistan. He was originally sent there to work for and maintain commo links for a Major who was our LNO in the north. They ended up living on my little firebase and I was able to steal Jeremy away from the Major and incorporate him into my team. As far as I was concerned, Jeremy was a member of the team until we all went back to the States.
Jeremy was a great troop! He quickly became one of us and it wasn't until his sudden early departure when he broke his ankle that we all realized that we may not get to work with him again.
I will always be proud to say that I was his first Team Sergeant and his good friend.
RIP Jeremy! God Speed!

RIP
 

Rest in Peace and God Bless you and your family.

This Slide Show was just released with the Family's permission. The Photagraphers, Gary and Theresa, did a remarkable job of documenting this somber occasion. They would ride ahead and get on top of the overpasses to get some of the shots.

The uniformed folks in the first, and several other, shots are Firemen in Dress Uniform from some of the local cities.

There are over 500 slides, you can speed it up to 3 sec. rotation. (Toolbar at the bottom of the pic.)
