Captain Blanchard Procession From Airport
« on: May 03, 2013, 03:15:02 PM »
Sorry if this is already posted somewhere. Here is the route they are taking from the airport to the funeral home if you happen to be in Yakima today.

YAKIMA, Wash. — The route has been changed for this afternoon’s procession to escort the body of Army Capt. Aaron Blanchard of Selah, a helicopter pilot who was killed in Afghanistan last week.

Blanchard’s body is expected to arrive about 3:30 p.m. on a flight landing at the Yakima Air Terminal. Upon departure from the airport, the procession will travel down Washington Avenue to First Street and then north on First Street to Yakima Avenue. At Yakima Avenue, the procession will turn westbound to Keith and Keith Funeral Home.

The procession had been planned to take 16th Avenue to the funeral home.

The change allows the procession to pass Noel Canning on First Street. Blanchard’s brother, Karl, works for the company, which says it will set up a banner and flags to pay respects to Capt. Blanchard.

No not me, I was in the ARFF truck that escorted the plain in.  Very moving experience.
