Procession For Fallen Soldiers Today
Law enforcement in Spokane and North Idaho will join the U.S. military in processions today to deliver to funeral homes the remains of two Coeur d’Alene soldiers killed in Iraq. A procession today around 11:30 a.m.
will escort the remains of Sgt. Nathan R. Beyers, right, from Spokane International Airport to Hennessey-Smith Funeral Home on North Division Street in Spokane. Another around 1:15 p.m. will escort the remains of Army Spc. Nicholas W. Newby, left, from the Coeur d’Alene Airport/Pappy Boyington Field to Yates Funeral Home on Fourth Street in Coeur d’Alene. The Coeur d’Alene procession will pass Lake City High School, Newby’s alma mater, which his family has suggested would be a good place for community members to gather if they wish to pay respects/

Question: How do you plan to honor the memory of these two brave Coeur d’Alene soldiers who died in an IED attack in Iraq — and a third soldier who was badly injured?
