today in jacksonville, florida, thousands of people lined the funeral processional route to honor captain scott speicher’s service and ultimate sacrifice to this country. the funeral procession passed places important in scott’s life, including the church where he taught sunday school and the high school where he was a star swimming and tennis player. 

his body arrived yesterday from dover. his flag draped coffin was flanked by honor guards overnight, in a chapel at the navel air station in jacksonville, florida. after a public memorial service at the jacksonville municipal stadium, scott speicher will, after 18 long years, be laid to rest today in a private ceremony at the jacksonville memory gardens.
