Funeral Home is New Comer Cannon Funeral Home, 343 New Karner Rd, Colonie, NY. Calling hours - Monday - 11/16 - 3:00pm to 8:00pm. Link below. It's always difficult to try to create a schedule for a 5 hour flag line. I would encourage those than can put in an hour or two to try and do so in the 3:00pm to 5:00pm shift as more members are likely to be able to participate after 5:00pm.
Funeral on Tuesday - 11/17 - The details for this day are still incomplete. What we do have at this point is that the funeral service will take place at the Reach Out Fellowship Church at 218 Osborne Rd, Albany, NY - Address link below. Services there scheduled to begin at 9:30am.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Albany&state=ny&address=218+Osborne+Rd
Escort will proceed from church to Saratoga National Cemetery for an interment currently scheduled for 1:30pm.
We are still awaiting information that will confirm the events and times on Tuesday to include schedule for the arrival of the family at the funeral home and departure from the funeral home and escort to the church. Schedule yourself to arrive to set up a flag line at the funeral home by 8:30am Tuesday morning.
The weather both days will be sunny, dry and cool so riding shouldn't be a problem.

The family has disclosed that calling hours for SSG Amy Seyboth Tirador will be on Monday, 11/16 from 3:00pm to 8:00pm that night at New Comer Cannon Funeral Home, 343 New Karner Rd, Colonie, NY.
PGR will form flag line at the main entrance during this time. As I don't expect anyone to stand the flag line for 5 hours please feel free to stagger your attendance during this 5 hour time span.
The burial will take place on Tuesday, 11/17 at Saratoga National Cemetery - final preparations for this are still being made - I will advise when I hear from family.
******************************************************************************
Updated 10 Nov 09 at 0831 EST by Cagerbob
The family of SSG Amy Seyboth Tirador has requested the presence of the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in all aspects of the return home and interment of their beloved wife and daughter.
SSG Tirador was literally a life saver. Her first tour of duty in Iraq was that of a medic – credited with providing life saving service to our wounded men and women. In her second tour in Iraq SSG Tirador was working as an Arabic-speaking interrogator participating in operations that, no doubt, provided valuable information that saved the lives of others. Her husband Micky is currently serving his third tour in Iraq .
At this point final preparations are being made by all interested parties and details will be made available soon. What we do know is that the PGR flag line will be present at Airport Arrival - provide motorcycle escort to funeral home – flag line at funeral home during calling hours – escort to church for funeral services – flag line at church – escort to Saratoga National Cemetery – flag line at Cemetery.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SSG Amy Seyboth Tirador. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. She will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Amy.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
