This is a Confirmed ANC Mission.
Capt. Garrett "Tubes" Lawton, USMC, 31, of Beaufort, SC was killed during combat operations in Afghanistan, and is to be laid to his final rest in the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC).
PGR stood in honor of this American Hero at hometown services on August 12 and 14, and will stand again as he is laid to his final rest - standing tall, silent and proud for our Hero.
The ANC services date has not been set, and will most likely be in November or December, as the family is waiting for his unit to return from deployment in Afghanistan.
Please check back to follow this mission as the date is set and the planning finalized.
