COLUMBIA, Tenn. - A funeral procession for a Marine from Tennessee killed in Afghanistan is set for today.
Lance Cpl. Andrew Carpenters funeral will be at 2 p.m. Monday at Heritage Funeral Home in Columbia.
Jim Cain, vice president of community relations for Heritage Funeral Home, told The Columbia Daily Herald the route of the procession will give the public an opportunity to show its support for the military by lining the roadside and waving flags.
Carpenter died Feb. 19, five days after suffering a gunshot wound to the neck while on patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
