*****************************************************************************************************************************
This is a Confirmed ANC Mission
========================

SGT. Anthony A. Paci, 30, of Rockville, Md., died Mar. 4 at Gereshk, Afghanistan, of injuries suffered during a vehicle rollover.  He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry, 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

Anthony is to be laid to his final Hero's rest on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on 25 March, 2010 at approximately 1300 hours from the ANC Administration Building.

PGR is honoring this American Hero with an Honor Flag Line during visitation and services, and providing a mounted escort from the funeral home in Bethesda, MD earlier the same day. For details of that portion of the mission, see the plan posted / to be posted on the main thread - http://tinyurl.com/PGR-Paci.

to reflect on their sacrifice.
