The City of St. Robert is calling on all residents, veterans, patriotic organizations, civic groups, and supporters to join us in honoring two American heroes as they pass through our community on their final journey home.
On Saturday, June 13, the South-Central Missouri Patriot Guard Riders will es**rt the cremated remains of two United States Army veterans, Captain James Robert Kirkpatrick and Tech Sergeant Fourth Class Floyd Casey, through Missouri as they travel to their final resting places.
The es**rt is expected to arrive at the Maverik Travel Center at Exit 161 in St. Robert at approximately 9:15 a.m. for a brief fuel stop before continuing eastbound. We encourage everyone to arrive by 9:00 a.m. and bring an American flag as we gather to show our gratitude, respect, and support for these two heroes and the Patriot Guard Riders who are ensuring they receive the dignity and honor they have earned.
Captain James Robert Kirkpatrick served with distinction during the Vietnam War, earning numerous awards including the Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device for heroism in combat.
Tech Sergeant Fourth Class Floyd Casey served during World War II with the 76th Signal Corps and participated in the Battle of the Bulge, the Rhineland Campaign, and the Central Europe Campaign.
This is an opportunity for our community to come together and demonstrate that service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
