 Patriot Guard and Associates;

 

Sadly, we have been requested to provide an escort and stand a Flag Line for Robert Slate, US Air Force.

 

In 1969, upon receiving his draft letter, he joined the U.S. Air Force after graduating from college. He graduated from pilot training in 1971 and went on to command a KC-135 Stratotanker crew charged with refueling B-52 bombers, attaining the rank of Captain in 1973.

 

One of Bob’s final wishes was to have his remains escorted by PGR, Legion Riders and classic cars.

 

We will provide an escort from the funeral home to the Lebanon fairgrounds then stand a Flag Line there during Military Honors.

 

Sr RC Greg Young (860-227-7525) will be RCIC and have flags on site.

 

God Bless America, Our Troops and First Responders.

 

Regards,
