This was one of the largest funeral as far as count of family and friends that I have been a part of. Sgt Lowery was loved and respected by his town and also by the numerous active duty and retired military personell who were present.  The Army Ranger Squad that was present peformed a Roll Call at the end of the funeral portion of the service. Upon arrival at the cemetery, Sgt. Lowery's casket was transferred from the hearse to a horse drawn caison and was accompanied by a squad of active duty Army Rangers on foot for the final 300 yards from the cemetery gate to the gravesite. I could not begin to count the number of family and friends and military that thanked us for being there today.
