Staging location: American Legion Post #139, 1207 Main St., Milton, WV 25541 (304) 743-3149 (http://tinyurl.com/yqqxlh).
Directions: From I-64, East or West, take exit #28. Coming from the East, turn right; from the West, turn left. Continue South till you come to Wendy's Restaurant and bear right on U.S. Route 60W.. At the first light, bear slightly right (do NOT make the right hand turn) by the antique stores. Go approximately .2 miles to the Legion, located on your right.

It is anticipated that other groups will be standing alongside us during this Mission of Honor but will be following our lead. We WILL be providing escort from the funeral home to the cemetery. Depending on the number of folks we have in the flag line, some may be asked to proceed to the cemetery at the start of services to provide a flag line entrance for the procession. That decision will be made during the briefing.
ShadowWolf will be scouting the cemetery later today or tomorrow and will post information regarding its condition.
Thank you for your patience in awaiting this information. All who plan to ride in, please do so with great caution. Cages are more than welcome.

Visitation services for Ron Williams will be Friday, 15 Feb 2008, from 1800-2000 at the Wallace Funeral Home in Milton, WV. ShadowWolf will make the determination if we will provide a flag line for these services.
Funeral services will be Saturday, 16 Feb 2008, at 1100, also at the Wallace Funeral Home. Staging TIME will be 0930 at a location to be announced by ShadowWolf. Briefing/KSU at 0945 and flagline in place prior to 1000.
Cemetery location has yet to be chosen but we WILL be providing escort at the conclusion of services.
Please monitor the weather forecast for the area to determine the best and safest mode of transportation. Remember, it's not HOW you get there, it's that you ARE there.
Thank you for your support.

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |
