On Sunday, August 16 Sergeant First Class William B. Woods, 31, was killed in Afghanistan.
To honor SFC Woods, and to show support to his family during this difficult time, the American Red Cross will line the entrance of Northwest High School while his family and friends enter to attend his service.
We are asking that any volunteers, their family, and friends who would like to attend and pay respects gather at the Northwest High School Saturday, August 29th, beginning at 10:00a.m., but no later than 10:20 a.m. We will be lining the street to show our support and at the same time not be intrusive to the family during their time of grief.
Northwest High School is located at 6005 Cedar Hill Rd, Cedar Hill, MO 63106. From St. Louis take 270 south, exit at MO-30 and make a left onto Cedar Hill Road. Northwest High School will be on you left.
