DAY 1, UPDATE #1, APRIL 17, 2017
PLEASE READ CHANGES!
ALCON,
Please read everything, detailed important information below.

We have received the following request from a Missing In America Project (MIAP) Texas Rep. MIAP has requested an escort from Amarillo, Texas to San Antonio, Texas on Thursday, April 20, 2017, and another escort from Sunset Memorial at 1701 Austin Highway, San Antonio Texas, to the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery on Friday April 21, 2017 for interment of 5 unaccompanied and unclaimed veterans cremains. This list has changed due to families stepping forward over the past few weeks to claim several cremains. The 5 remaining Veterans include 3 from the Vietnam War (1 Army, 2 Air Force), 1 from the Korean War (Air Force) and one Navy Veteran (See attachment below). This list may increase or decrease prior to April 20th.

The route will escort our Heroes through several Texas PGR Regions and the SA PGR is overall responsible for the mission in partnership with Regional RC's as much as possible. The route is approximately 485 miles and will be broken up into 4 legs of approximately 120 miles each with a stop for lunch and another at the stopping point on the 20th for dinner.

Please remember this is not a race, safety is paramount!!
