Possible Mission for Capt McKenna - Possible Mission for Capt McKenna
I spoke to the Lt. Col. In charge of Captain McKenna making the arrangements for the family. We are still waiting for a response from the family. Capt McKenna’s funeral service will be in Brooklyn this Friday August 25,2006 and after the funeral service he will be laid to rest in Saratoga N.Y.
If the Patriot is called to attend the services it will be a very large motorcade and can get very confusing and dangerous for the Police Dept and State Troopers. So if we are called upon we will attend the services at the church and then line the route thru the streets. We will most likely will NOT be going to Saratoga. But the north east members of the Patriot guard will meet the funeral procession at the cemetery. I am asking every Patriot Guard in the both area to make every effort to attend the services if we are called upon.
Thank you
Gus
NY State Captain
If we are called upon, everybody will be meeting at Cezars Bazaar in Brooklyn off the belt Parkway. Please keep an eye on the web site for all upcoming information and any possible changes. |
