| I'll keep checking back several times a day. It turns out that one of the women I know that works in a field office for my workplace is a cousin of Senior Airman Servais. I've already alerted my boss that if we are invited and the service isn't on Saturday, that I will be asking for a day off. From what the cousin said, this wonderful and dedicated family has a long history of military service. God Bless them all! |

My prayers go out to the family and friends of Senior Airman Adam P. Servais.
May God strengthen and comfort you in this time.
I believe that all of heaven has already welcomed home Senior Airman Servais.
Now it is time for us to welcome home this American Hero.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
A simple verse for this hero:
Soar now like an eagle in the sky, as over all you’ve known you fly,
Soar up and into the light, Heaven’s gate is now in sight
Enter the fulfillment of your belief, where there is no sorrow or grief,
Safe now from all that harms, rest in God’s loving arms.

The final staging area for Minnesota will be at the new Kwik Trip in Stewartville. This is at the Southwest corner of I-90 / Hwy 63 interchange. Kwik Trip is approximately ¼ mile south of I-90. This station has high octane fuel, food, restrooms, etc. Once you are fueled up, please fall in line along Schumann Drive. This new road will not show up on Mapquest but trust me, it’s there. We will line up 2x2 for an easy departure. We should have a police blockade onto I-90.
Please follow this thread for specific times.

The Twin Cities Metro staging area will be at:
Petrol Pumper
11650 Courthouse Blvd
Inver Grove Hts, MN 55077
This is the truck stop on the east side of US-52 just north of the Pine Bend Oil Refinery in Inver Grove Heights / Rosemount.
From there it is 75 miles down to Rochester to meet up with everyone else from MN and head over as a group.
Everyone please remember to bring some water, food, etc. that you may need to be self sufficient for the day.
Most importantly - remember to bring your flag! |

Thanks Birdie for the reminder on the flag.
And for the Twin Citiies and other northern riders, from Hwy 52 South, head through town and take the Hwy 63 Exit (Broadway) South. The new Stewartville Kwik Trip is around 4 miles south of Hwy 52. This is a bit out of the way for the Twin Cities group, but this is the only truck stop that's large enough to handle our group near Rochester. |

Standing by in Mankato. I'm not a rider, so will be driving a car. I
will be bringing several cases of water, and will meet the group
staging at Mankato.
I am a Director at KEYC TV, and attended
Lance Corporal Posivio's funeral in Welcome. I attended that funeral in
my official capacity, but I will be attending this not as a member of
the media, but a fellow American, grateful for all the sacrifices these
men and women make. I am also a Resident Firefighter with Mankato Fire,
and will be attending in uniform, for a brother and his family. |
