Our fallen Indiana Marine came home yesterday. Marine Corporal Humberto Sanchez. They transported his casket with a police honor guard from Grissom Air Reserve Base to Logansport, Indiana.
They were accompanied by a motorcycle honor guard of 9,700 motorcycles. I believe it was a solid seven mile line of riders along country roads, highway and city streets lined with Hoosiers welcoming their hero home. The entire trip was 15 miles. The funeral will be on Tuesday.
Welcome home Marine.
RIP.
I’m sorry for your loss.

The longest (supposedly) motorcade for a fallen Marine was for Cpl Chance of Wyoming. It was the basis for the HBO movie Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon. Cpl. Chance was killed in Iraq circa 2004.
The motorcade stretched 90 miles.
