Updated 12 MAY 08 harly69g
Condolences Only/ Family has changed there mind & want a private service.
======================================================================
The family of Frank W. Bradley has invited the Patriot Guard to stand in his honor. We were initially contacted by his nephew, Jason Camp, who is a member of the Patriot Guard. Mr. Bradley was a Seaman with the Coast Guard in the early 60's.
14 May 08 - 12:45 stage at the First Church of the Nazarene - 111 Washington St., Hendersonville, NC.
We will form the flag line by 1315 hrs and the service is scheduled to begin at 1400 hrs. At the conclusion of the service we will escort Mr. Bradley and his family to Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hendersonville for graveside services.
I have been given the honor of being the Ride Captain for Mr. Bradley's mission and I will post an update later tonight with final details. I am now the point of contact for this mission.

"Semper Paratus - Always Ready" was your motto, I thank you for that. Thank you Sir for your Honor and Courage, you are a True Hero. It takes someone very special to stand watch over this great country of ours and you stood your watch with pride. It's time to pass on the shield, your watch is over, well done, we'll take it from here.
