adamgh81 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm sure PGR (patriot guard riders) will make the viewing and funeral, I'd be there if I weren't working. Go and show our support OR, you don't have to be in the military to ride with PGR, just bring a 3'x5' US Flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2009/09/09/beach-services-planned-for-marine-lance-cpl-david-hall/LORAIN — A memorial service for Marine Lance Cpl. David Hall is planned 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday at Lakeview Park in Lorain. Sunday’s memorial service will be on the beach, and arrangements are being made to accommodate a crowd up to several thousand people, said Lora Hall, sister of Hall, who was killed by an improvised explosive device Aug. 31 while patrolling in Afghanistan. “We’ll have plenty of chairs set up for older people and anyone with back problems or who has trouble sitting down on the beach,” she said. Hall People who prefer to sit on the hillside are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets. The two-hour service is being designed to focus on honoring David Hall, Lora Hall said. “We want to celebrate David’s life, but it will also honor all active duty men and women still in harm’s way,” she said. Full military honors will be observed, and Hall’s casket will be carried by an honor guard onto a stage set up on the beach. Discussions are still under way about other details of the service, which will close with a 21-gun salute “that’s set to be done right at sunset,” Hall said. “That should be beautiful.” If people are unable to attend the service and David Hall’s closed-casket visitation or uncertain which to come to, the family is encouraging “as many as we can to join us at the memorial service,” Lora Hall said. David Hall’s body is scheduled to arrive at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport from Dover, Del., at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. A motorcade will accompany the soldier’s body through Lorain, according to his sister. The exact route has yet to be determined, but Lora Hall said it would likely pass by Southview High School, her brother’s alma mater, Lorain City Hall and Lakeview Park. “The specifics of the route still have to be worked out by the police. Our intent is to have as many people who want to come out and line those streets.” Visitation for David Hall will be 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at Dovin & Reber Jones Funeral & Cremation Center, 1110 Cooper Foster Park Road, Amherst.
