Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Abram L. Howard is removed from the hearse that carried his remains past his home to Sanders Mortuary in Newberry. Howard was killed July 27, while fighting in Afghanistan
I had the absolute honor of being a part of this escort for all 3 days. Although I have done many other funerals for our fallen heros, this one was special. I was deeply touched by the huge, huge welcome the whole city of Williamsport gave this hero on his return. Every street we rode down was filled with people who came out to welcome Lance Cpl. Howard home. I was honored to have been chosen as one of the 7 bikes to escort the procession to the cemetary. RIP L. Cpl. Howard, an American hero.
i was there in marjah with Howard although i only knew him for a short time he will have a lasting impression on me for the rest of my life! i will always remember him as a marine and as a man rest in peace Lcpl Howard from your brothers of the 2nd Bn 6Th marines Police mentoring team
May u rest in peace. I miss you so much. I remember when i would come over to play with ur sister and u would always play with us :). i will never forget you and u will always be in my heart. We all love and miss you!
I spent 6 years in the Navy and on my last day going to work in civilians cloths making copies of my service record, a fallen marine came through right next our hangar.
Made me think twice about being alive after serving as a helicopter rescue swimmer.
Marines always have a big ego, and I know many that have pissed me off to no end...
But you'll always have my respect. We're brothers for god sake.
ty for all that you have done and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as they bring you home and let god take you under his wing. god bless .
