DESCRIPTION:Honor Mission\nPFC Morris Worrell\, 20\, POW/MIA\nUSA – WWII\nOmaha\, Nebraska – 11-08-18\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE MISSION: \nThe Family of WWII POW\, PFC Morris Worrell\, 20\, (1942) has requested the Patriot Guard Riders escort our World War II Hero who died as a Japanese Prisoner of War on September 27\, 1942. The ESCORT is from Eppley Airfield in Omaha to the Minnick Funeral Home in Wisner\, NE. Veteran Worrell enlisted in the Army on February 4\, 1921 at Fort McArthur\, San Pedro\, California. He served in Company F\, 2nd Battalion\, 31st Infantry Regiment. He was sent to the Philippine Islands when war was declared December 8\, 1941. Morris became a Japanese Prisoner of War on April 9\, 1942. After enduring the brutal Bataan Death March\, he joined other POW’s at Cabanatuan POW Camp in Nueva Ecija Province. Poor living conditions\, lack of food and supplies with little medical treatment available; Morris died on September 27\, 1942 from dysentery and malaria. When Cabanatuan Camp was liberated\, the mass graves were disinterred and eventually moved to the Manila Mausoleum. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified his remains on August 13\, 2018. Today\, 76 years later\, the Patriot Guard Riders have an opportunity to provide the Honor and respect earned by our Hero PFC Morris Raymond Worrell. He would have been 97 years old on October 4th\, 2018.\n\n\nPRIMARY STAGING DETAILS: 11-08-18 \nStaging Time: 08:00 AM\n \nCell Phone Waiting Lot\, East Fort Street & Abbott Drive\, SE Corner.\nJust north of the Eppley Airfield Terminal\n4501 Abbott Dr.\nOmaha\, Nebraska 68110\n\n\nRide Captain: \nDal Vogel\ndxvz@yahoo.com\n402-206-9554\n\nAsst: Tom Snyder\, snyderauto@mediacombb.net\, 712-310-8922\n\n\nSpecial Instructions: \nRIDERS MEETING: 8:30am\nHERO ARRIVAL: 8:46am touch down American airlines Flight # 2343\nCLUTCHES OUT: 9:15am.\nThe escort will stop briefly (15 minutes) in Fremont & West Point.
