Details so far:
Assembly point will be I-55 exit 40 in Brookhaven, MS;

There will be two groups for this mission. The first Will need to pull out for the mortuary NLT 1200 to escort SFC Barnes' remains from there to High School at 1230.
The second group will pull out from walmart at 1245 and go directly to the High School.
Once at the High School, we'll station an Honor Guard outside the auditorium beginning approx. 1pm for services to begin at 2pm.
We will then escort SFC Barnes' remains to the cemetary which is a short ride from the school.
