On Saturday August 27th, the precession carrying the body of SGT. Gary Lee Reese will leave the Boyd Funeral home on Elizabeth Street in Ashland City at 11:30 am. County and area residents are being asked to show support to the Reese family by standing along side of Highway 12 from the funeral home to the TN National Guard Armory. The Armory is located at 1935 Hwy 12 S. in Ashland City, about a mile past Wal-Mart. Roads will be closed off early to traffic for the occasion, so be advised to get there early and take your place on the roadside. (You might even consider approaching from the Nashville side of Hwy. 12.)
SGT Reese will lie in state from 12 noon until the service at 1:00p.m. at the Armory.
In lieu of flowers the family has requested that donations be made to Cheatham County Central High School in memory of SGT Gary Lee Reese. Please mail donations to CCCHS Attn. Cheryl Richardson, One Cub Circle, Ashland City, TN. 37015.
The M. Company Family Readiness Group has created the poster shown here to honor SGT Reese. They are requesting that anyone who can, cut it out, or print it in color if possible, and place it on the front door or another visible spot in your place of business for the remainder of M. Company's deployment. The poster fits a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. If you send a request to The South Cheatham Advocate we will be happy to forward the poster to you for printing. They also invite you to visit their website at www.278mcompany.com and leave your condolences and tributes. There is a link on the home page to the tribute forum. They will be creating a scrapbook of all the condolences to present to the Reese family.
