The hearse carrying his body was escorted from the Shreveport airport by law enforcement and the always-faithful Patriot Guard Riders. A candlelight vigil was held last night in his honor ... the funeral service will be held today at 2:00 p.m. in the Shreveport area.
Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover ordered all city flags to fly at half-staff to honor Spc. Tomlinson who has been posthumously promoted to Sergeant.
Our prayers go out to his family. May America never forget.
For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.
