Citizens asked to line streets in June to welcome home WWII fallen hero Lt. Robert Eugene Oxford of Concord as he returns to his hometown 73 years after he was killed in the line of duty.
Sunday, June 11
(after Memorial Service which begins at 2:00pm)
Location
The casket will loaded into a Moody-Daniel Funeral Home hearse and escorted by Patriot Guard Riders to the funeral home on Highway 19 north in Zebulon.
A Memorial Service is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, June 11 and following the service, the flag-draped casket will be escorted to Magnolia Cemetery in Concord. The family and community would like to have as many people as possible lining Highway 19 from the Memorial Service to the courthouse square and on Highway 18 from the courthouse square to Concord and Magnolia Cemetery. Yellow ribbons will be tied at intervals around roadside objects (i.e. electric poles, light poles, fence posts, trees) along both sides of the route.
