CINCINNATI -- A two-day schedule of memorial services for a fallen Clermont County soldier will require military precision to successfully pull off.
Sgt. Matt Maupin’s remains will arrive Saturday morning around 8 a.m. at the main runway at Lunken Airport, where his family will spend some private time together on the tarmac.
A procession will bear his remains along state Route 32, which has already been decorated with yellow ribbons, through Newtown.

The 20-vehicle procession is expected to pass Eastgate Mall sometime between 8:30 and 10 a.m., depending on weather conditions at Lunken, and then travel past Glen Este High School, Maupin’s alma mater.
A public visitation is schedule to begin around 11 a.m. at Union Township Civic Center, and remain open continuously until Sunday morning at 7 a.m.
About 300 parking spaces will be available at the civic center parking lot, and relatives said more than 3,000 additional spots will be available at the nearby TGL lot and behind Dillard’s at Eastgate Mall.
Frequent shuttles will run from 11 a.m. until 10:30 p.m., family members said.

Planning remains incomplete for an anticipated 30,000 Patriot Guard motorcycles along the funeral procession route. “We tried to explain to the Army a long time ago: You don't understand how this community, when there's something to be done, they're going to come,” said Keith Maupin. “They're going to help and do whatever it is they got to do (but) I think they're finally getting the picture.”

We ran the “uninvited guests” out of Reno a few months ago with about 400 PGR, FReepers and regular Nevadans. 30,000 will give them a heart attack - I hope. When I say ran I mean very fast walk back to their car.

Thank you for the ping, freema. It's with a heavy heart, but also a sense of duty, honor and respect that I ping the PGR list.
To be on or off my PGR list, please FReepmail me!

I truly wish that PGR would accept donations!
If for no other reason...to help them pay for gas in the bikes!
I Know...Just a pipe dream!

I remember reading about that Reno thing in the paper. ; )
Good job!
30,000 will be something to see. Maupin’s father is a PGR.
