July 9, 200917 yr #1 Below is a link to an article about Naval Aviator Woody McVay of Mobile, AL who is finally coming home. His remains will be met in Pensacola on Fri by the USN funeral detail and be transported with a police escort for burial in Mobile. He will be burried on Mon with full military honors and, hopefully, a flyby. The funeral detail will return and there will be a group of sailors and Marines to form up ranks. His widow and granddaughter will be there. http://blog.al.com/jkennedy/2009/06/alabam...cvay_world.html

July 14, 200917 yr Author #4 All, Thanks for your support! Thanks to the stash Ensigns who came on their own time and at their own expense. Thanks to the funeral detail and the other enlisted who came. And thanks to the guys in the choker whites and gloves that came together as well as the as the aviators that preformed the flyover. Today was an honor for ALL included. The FAMILY, the USN, the police, the media, and the interested. What a wonderful tribute to an All American hero! Below is a link to the coverage WALA TV10 provided. This should be a model for future events! We should ALL remember that freedom is not free, occasionally it has to be fought for. When that happens, good men die. They need to be remembered and revered. AND, the ones who made it home need to be honored for their actions. It is imperative that we teach this to following generations..... Blue skies, Owen Miller www.ussalabama.com http://www.fox10tv.com/dpp/news/local_news...Since_44_Buried
