This is the Final ANC Mission Plan =========================
CPT Brian M. Bunting, of Potomac, MD died Feb. 24 in Kandahar, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle, one of four Heroes taken by the same device.
He is to be laid to his final Hero's rest on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on 16 March, 2009 at approximately 1130 hours from the Administration Building. PGR stood in his honor at home town services, and will stand again - tall, silent and proud - at his ANC services.
PGR will stage at the Iwo Jima Memorial and proceed to Memorial Drive, where we will await & then join the small procession from MD of the Hero and his immediate family for the last leg of his final journey.
