SFC Dostie's funeral Services Tuesday, January 24th @ 7pm at Fortin's Funeral Home, Turner Street, Auburn, Maine.


Staging place will be in the " Office Max " parking lot on Union Street beginning. Schedule is as follows:

6:00 pm Parking Lot @ Office Max
6:20 pm Depart for Funeral Home to arrive by 6:30pm (before Family arrives)
6:30-6:40 pm Parents & other Family Members arrive to get ready for service
7:00 pm Service begins (shouldn't last more than 30 minutes)
7:30 - 8:00pm Family members & friends depart
? Then we will depart.

Please remember to bring flags and dress for the weather, we will be outside. State Captain and I have placed orders with the PGR store for items, however, they may night be in on time!

Anyone traveling on the highway to Auburn: take Auburn exit off highway . At the light at the end of the exit take a left. Continue for a couple of miles and you will come to a main intersection with Denny's on the right. Continue straight through this intersection and come to Office Max also on your right! I'll be in the parking lot (far away from the store's entrance with my flashers on). I look forward to meeting you all.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call! Thanks, Asha

I live a couple hour drive away from Granite City, and if I don't have to work, I'd be proud to go along on this one as well. Adding it to my watch list.

Governor Confirms Fallen Soldier with Maine Ties
January 1, 2006
Governor's Office



AUGUSTA – Governor John E. Baldacci today noted the loss of Sergeant First Class Shawn Christopher Dostie, an active duty member from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. SFC Dostie has family in Maine. He died on December 30 from an IED attack in Baghdad, Iraq. SFC Dostie’s family has been notified of his death.

“This loss, during the holiday season, is especially hard to bear,” said Governor Baldacci. “The citizens of Maine join in extending our prayers and respect to Shawn’s family, and we remember all those serving their state and country away from home.”

No other information is available at this time.

Wesoot,
are we suggesting that this funeral will be in Maine and not Illinois?
if so, we may want to adjust watch list to include the state of Maine?????
only a suggestion.

any help from anyone is appreciated.
thanks

I will continue to search out more information. Once confirmation on where the funeral will be held, I will ask that the state be changed if necessary. At this time however, its still up in the air since no further information is available.

Respects,

Apparently there are several Dosties in Maine. This is from a Portland, Maine news release:

Shawn Dostie was not related to Maine National Guard Spc. Thomas Dostie, 20,
of Somerville, who was among 22 people killed in a suicide bomber attack in
Mosul, Iraq, in December 2004, said Baldacci spokeswoman Joy Leach.

I do understand however, that he has ties in Maine with family members. I have info on his wife and 2 daughters, but will hold it for now.

Just got off the phone with Kelly Tyler, Ft Campbell PAO. She is forwarding our request to attend service for Sgt Dostie to the Casualty Assistance Officer in charge of this. They will reply back to me with a phone call or email as to our invitation.

Off the phone again with Ms Tyler (Ft Campbell PAO). Sgt Dostie will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetary. She will advise of any special services if they become available.

Good job CG. I believe contacting, involving, and working with/through the CAO's is the way to go. If anyone doesn't know how to find the CAO's in their area give a shout.

Sorry to post so much but as I find out info, I post:

Another service will be held in Lewiston in about two weeks, Stephanie Dostie said. She and the children plan to move to Lewiston to be close to Shawn's parents.

Maine Ride Captains need to watch for this.

Spoke with Adjutant General Libby in Augusta on Tuesday Morning having left a message Monday. He told me he would give me the funeral and family contact information as soon as he got it.

I spoke with the State Rep from Lewiston yesterday morning about the family. She didn't know who they were yet, but we have a good local family (Cunningham) who had a similar loss earlier. They are also offering support.

Information is slow in coming this time.

This will be our third funeral in my part of the state.  We've lost eleven brave warriors.

Godspeed to them, and rest their souls. 

Our heartfelt thanks to them and to all veterans and active duty members for serving our country.
