Today's Route Start To Finish
A
Pickup Location for Those Riding Provided Bus Transportation
21480 Cedar, Drive, Sterling, Virginia 20164
Please arrive early due to limited street parking. There are two commercial parking lots about a half block from the house that offer free parking for those willing to take a small stroll. One parking lot has an Auto Zone anchoring it. The other parking lot is anchored by COCO's.
B
Our Lady Of Hope Catholic Church
46639 Algonkian Pkwy, Potomac Falls, VA 20165
The Mass will start at 12:00 Noon sharp and last approximately 1 hour. After Mass we will board the bus and depart for Arlington National Cemetery. A snack lunch will be provided on the bus to tide you over until the celebration of life event. For those driving, now might be a good time to grab a bite to eat before the 3:00 ceremony.
C
Arlington National Cemetery
1 Memorial Avenue, Arlington, VA 22211
The Interment starts at 15:00 hours. That's 3:00 pm for you civilians. Make sure you have a real ID in case security asks for it as you enter the cemetery. From previous experience, people on the bus do not have to show their IDs, but we cannot guarantee that so please come prepared for the security check. For those driving, please make sure (at the minimum) the driver has a real-ID. Once through security, continue up memorial drive until it "tees" into Eisenhower Drive. Go to the left (there might be a guard directing you) and subsequently take the second left onto King Drive. Take the first right into the staging area. The "N. Mangus" name should be on one of the three monuments. Turn at the appropriate monument and attendants should show you where to diagonally park. Stay with your car. When the procession starts to go to the grave site, the hearse will lead the motorcade. In single file precision each car will follow the one in front of it until we arrive at the burial site. At this point, please come together with us to participate in the final ceremony. After paying your respects, the buses will head back to Margee and Nick's house for the Celebration of Life event. Please dew drop inn. Your participation in this tough day truly has healing powers for the family. Thank you so much for coming.
