We will stand a flag line at the National Cemetery while full military honors are presented followed by a short service conducted by our own Steve Simko.
Hero Smeeton achieved the rank of Airman First Class and served as a Fire Protection Specialist.
After his service, hero Smeeton moved to Springfield, MO where he attended college at Evangel University, then met his future wife, married and had three children. His daughter and grandson were proudly recruited into the USN by our very own WWR Shawn Dery, currently a retired Navy recruiter.
