The "Patriot Guard" is looking for volunteers tomorrow to ride their motorcycles as an escort in the funeral procession for this soldier from Queen of Martyrs Church at 103rd & Drake, to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. If you can make it, get to the church by 10:30 because the mass starts at 10:00 AM.
It would be even better if you can go from Blake Lamb at 103rd, just east of Cicero at 9:00 AM to escort him to the church too, but you'll have to spend an hour waiting for the mass to end. Anything you can do would be appreciated.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU KNOW THAT RIDES A MOTORCYCLE TO HELP HONOR THIS YOUNG MAN.

Not at all the place for this type of thing. Let's not forget, a young man is dead and you are making jokes amongst yourselves? Stop and think about this kid's family before you continue to comment under this post.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's blood is a boilin! Havent seen an ire like that since Tommy poured out my 100 year old Glen Livet as part of a "science experiment". But seriously folks, keep comments within their appropriate posts... Thanks...
ReplyDeleteYoung lady I think you need to take a deep breath and realize this is a blog and not a source of media... If you do not like the content here, you can always click the little X on the upper right corner of your screen and it will all go away... You have been banned 1 week.
The entire family will be in my prayers...
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog format. Especially around & in. Rule w/ an iron fist brother. Just like the soup nazi. "NO BLOG FOR YOU........1 WEEK!" On a more serious note, my condolences to the family. Wish I had a bike.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to tip my hat to all our friends and neighbors that stood out on 103rd Street this morning in honor of a fallen soldier named Jared Stanker. There was an outstanding turnout of support for this young man today, unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before.
ReplyDeleteNot only were both sides of 103rd Street lined with people, it was 4 to 5 deep. The crowd was both young and old and “Old Glory” was flying everywhere. I’ll bet if this crowd would have spread out, it could have continued east all the way to the lakefront. I’m honored to live among people like this and we really do have a great neighborhood.
Nothing can bring this fine young man back, but I hope that this tremendous display of public support and respect toward this soldier, at least brought a little comfort to his grieving family.
MAY HE “REST IN PEACE”
Thanks for all the info and support Jim. I'm sure the family was grateful.
