| Eatonton Post Office staff showing support with their community. |
Employees at the Eatonton PO recently came out
to pay tribute to a fallen soldier being returned home for burial.
The funeral for Army Specialist Erica Alecksen was held
in her home town of Eatonton. The 21-year-old soldier was killed July 8 by a
roadside bomb on Afghanistan.
A military jet with Alecksen's body arrived at Greensboro
around 1 p.m., and a motorcade led the procession to United...more Methodist
Church in Eatonton.
Members of the community lined the procession to show
their support of Alecksen and to honor her bravery while serving in
Afghanistan.
Throughout the funeral service, those close to Alecksen
celebrated her memory through recollections and songs of worship and praise.
Alecksen's sister-in-law, Danielle Swanger says the
family is deeply thankful for the support the community is showing for their
loved one.
In a time of such sadness, it is honorable that USPS employee's take time to show support!
