Navy Hospital Corpsman, Jeremy Mack, who has served in the United States Navy for the last eleven years, lost his life last Thursday in California as the result of a motorcycle accident. Petty Officer Mack will be returned to Thomasville, Georgia for burial.
Services are to be held at Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church, 819 Fletcher Street, Thomasville, GA, 3:00 pm. Staging is at the church. The family has requested that the Patriot Guard Riders provide an escort of honor and a Flag Line.
At this time, the Patriot Guard in Georgia has been stretched to the absolute limit of its resources. This week alone, the Georgia State Captain Gene Aultman, was informed that FIVE Honor Missions would be taking place.
For obvious reasons, it has been requested that elements of the Patriot Guard Riders from Northwest Florida assume responsibility for Petty Officer Mack, and we are doing our best to answer the call.
