Spc. Aaron Aamot

It was a somber but supportive scene yesterday, as the procession

transported the body of Spc Aaron Aamot back home to Ferndale.

So many people of all walks of life came out in a show of patriotism

and support to honor this soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Law enforcement officers from throughout the county came to honor

this hero.  Here's the first of 3 Lynden Police vehicles.

Border Patrol Officers at the Slater Rd Overpass.

There must have been 150 people at the overpass with

flags and yellow ribbons as the procession passed below.

I saw representitives from all the military branches in attendence. 

Along with those who are active duty, I also saw many older

veterans in uniform in honor of Aaron Aamot.

Tomorrow, November 14th at 1 pm there will be a memorial

service at Ferndale High School gym. The public is invited to attend.
