FYI-Mission Update: I spoke with the Funeral Home Director along with the Deputy Chief of Police.
The
staging area will be at Venus De Milo Restaurant-Banquet hall parking
lot at 75 GRA (Grand Army Highway) (Route 6) in Swansea. I
have spoken to one of the managers there and he said we are welcome to
stage there and there will be restrooms available for PGR to use.
Staging will be from 9:00 am until 10:15 am.
We will depart the staging area (Venus De Milo's ) at 10:15 am sharp!
(Police assisted traffic control for exit of parking lot if available)
and travel to the Grace Gospel Church, at 271 Sharps Lot Rd, Swansea,
MA (approximately 10-15 minutes travel time). I will be speaking to the
Director at the funeral home this afternoon as far as the details at
the church and the procession.
From there we will be joining the motorcade to the Oak Grove Cemetery, on Prospect St, Fall River, MA.
Ride Captains:
please plan out your meeting points and directions to the staging area.
Please post your meeting points and times of departure to the staging
area.
I will keep you informed of any updates.
Thank You. |

19? Pvt. Michael Bouthot you were far too young to know what sacrifices would be asked of you...yet there you were. When I saw 19, all of a sudden I could only be a "mom". Moms see with their hearts, yes I think right now I can only be a mom. My heart hurts for so much lost innocence, yet knows the heart of a HERO knows no limits including age.
Kick back young man...you have earned the time to find true heaven with the thanks of a greatful nation who will honor you far longer than the years you have lived.

Thank's Soldier
He went where others feared to go,
and did what others failed to do.
He cried, pained and hoped--
but most of all he lived times--
never to be forgotten.
