Subject: Interment of Gary Wayne Robbins, Major US Army (ret), Cullum 19171-1953
Our USMA 1953 D-2 Classmate Gary W. Robbins will be interred with full military honors on Friday 2 December 2022 in Arlington National Cemetery (ANC).
The graveside service will begin promptly at 9:00 am ET with the caisson followed by the cortege departing the Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) Administration Building. ANC advises that attendees should be at the Admin Bldg parking lot thirty to forty-five minutes ahead of the 9:00 am start. The main entrance to ANC at the end of Memorial Avenue (see ANC Map) should be used.
At the time of his passing, Gary was to be laid to rest in the family cemetery plot in Mountain View, Missouri on a date when COVID-19 allows. The interment plan has now been changed and Gary will be interred in ANC as indicated above.
