Navy Pilot Shot Down Over Iraq In January 1991
The procession and any stops along the route will also be televised by Channel 4 and News4Jax.com. Special coverage begins at 7 a.m. Friday on the morning show.
Speicher will be buried in a private ceremony at Jacksonville Memory Gardens. Following the graveside service, Speicher's squadron, the VFA-81 Sunliners, will fly over in a missing-man formation.
Gov. Charlie Crist, who will make remarks during the stop at the memorial wall, issue a proclamation directing that all state and national flags in Duval County and in front of the state Capitol be flown at half-staff on Friday in honor of Speicher.
