The funeral procession for 2nd Lt. Walter "Buster" Stone travels down East Three Notch.

A Patriot Guard, mostly from Florida, traveled to Andalusia to show its support

It was a gray, dreary Saturday morning, but that didn't stop locals from turning out to pay their respects.

Area residents braved the elements to participate in Lt. Stone's homecoming. Among them was O.J. Blount, who was drafted a year after Stone died, and retired from the military. He saw action in WWII and Korea.
