___________________________________________________________________________
The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to stand for Chad Steger, U.S. Army Veteran (84-87), on Friday, 18 Apr 08.
The funeral will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, 18 Apr 08 at:
Horan and McConaty Funeral Home
3101 So. Wadsworth Blvd.
Lakewood, CO 80227
As of right now, all events will be at the funeral home, including honor guard, taps, and flag.
Chad will be buried later at Ft Logan National Cemetery, but as of yet there are no plans for
us to be involved beyond the funeral home. However, I would suggest all that attend be ready
to go there on short notice, and I will post if we are asked to before the service.
Ride Captain and staging to be announced.

I extend my deepest condolences to Chad's family and friends. May God bless you and preserve you. And I send my heartfelt thanks to Chad for his service.
