The family of Edison T. Inay have invited the Patriot Guard to be present to honor this very distinguished and decorated Vietnam Veteran for his service to his Country. It will be our honor to do so.

During his 21 yrs. of active service, Edison served as a Maintenance Material Control Officer, Aviation Supply Chief, also Senior Chief Petty officer of the Command, and was qualified as an Officer of the Deck while in port.
During the Vietnam War, Edison was attached to the Navy Support Activity Unit in Danang. While in Vietnam, SCPO Inay provided logistical support to the Third Marine Amphibious Force and other third Country Combat Forces.

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church services to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
NOTE: Church service will be in Progress so please arrive quietly. This is predicted to have a large turnout so PGR will stage at #8 if possible. If not we will stage at 8 1/2. Family will stage at #3. It is possible we may be moved to 9. The family was estimating could be as many as 250 people.
