Lt. Col. Ted E. Harrington
US Marine Airman - WWII & Korean War Veteran
Davidson, NC
Sunday 04 May 08
Staging will be at 8:00 AM
The family of Lt. Col. Harrington has invited the PGR to honor a True American hero. Lt. Col. Harrington served in both WWII and the Korean War as a Marine Airman.
His ashes are to be spread on Lake Norman by his family and friends. There will be a fly over of the missing man formation followed by a light plane from which his ashes will be spread. PGR members who wish to take part must notify me of their intent to attend. We will be taking part in the ceremony with American, Marine, and PGR Flags aboard boats provided by his family and his friends.
I will provide you with the staging location once we have determined the number who plan on attending. Please respond ASAP.
