YOUR PRESENCE HAS BEEN REQUESTED
Spc James R. Burnett Jr.

LOCATION: Haysville, KS
Spc. James R. Burnett Jr., 21, Wichita, KS, was killed in action on 16 November 2011 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. He died after an improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated near his unit's vehicle while they were on patrol.
He was assigned to 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, stationed in Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Spc. Burnett joined the Army in 2009 after he graduated from Clearwater High School in Clearwater, KS.
Memorial services were held for Spc. Burnett at Community Church of Christ in
Lowndes, Missouri on Saturday, 26 November 2011.
Per the family’s request a local memorial service will be held for him on Feb 11th, at 11:00 AM at the new Haysville VFW Post 6957. This was originally on the Patriot Guard Mission Alert List, however the service was held in Missouri. The family of Spc. James Burnett and Anita Dixon of the AGSM have ask me to coordinate and RC this mission.
There will also be a dinner following the memorial service.
Staging:

Weather permitting the plan is to have 6 to 8 motorcycles escort the family from the family's home in west Wichita to VFW Post 6957
If the weather or road conditions are not favorable for motorcycles alternate plans will be made for the escort, but the memorial service and flag line will still go as scheduled.
