Dear Volunteers:

In March 1951, Private First Class Green Finley Jr., died in North Korea. He joined the Army in 1950 and nearly 60 years after he left home, Private First Class Green Finley Jr. is finally home

To honor PFC. Finley and to show support to his family during this difficult time, the American Red Cross will line the entrance of Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery 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 Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery on Friday, November 20^th, beginning at 12:30 p.m., but no later than 1:00 p.m.  We will be lining the road to show our support and at the same time not be intrusive to the family during their time of grief.

The address to the Cemetery is 2900 Sheridan Road, St. Louis, MO 63125. From St. Louis you would take 270 south, 270 becomes 255 east, take exit #2 at Telegraph Road. Make a left at Telegraph Road and travel north and turn right onto Sheridan Road. The cemetery is on your right.

Please wear a Red Cross shirt or vest. If you do not have one, please wear a solid red shirt if possible. Please keep in mind that, if there is a chance of rain, bring an umbrella or rain jacket.  Please refrain from bringing signs or banners of any kind. Small American flags are permitted.

If you would like to attend, please contact me at 314-516-2843 or agettis@redcrossstl.org.
