“A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Rocky Mountain Calvary at 4285 North Academy Boulevard. The public is invited to attend the service and pay respects.

Attendees are encouraged to wear service uniforms, Hawaiian print shirts, or red, white, and blue in honor of Stratton and his shipmates.

Parking at the church is limited, so attendees are encouraged to park at the east end lot of Doherty High School at 4515 Barnes Road. Buses will take riders to the chapel every 10 minutes.

For those unable to attend, Rocky Mountain Calvary will provide a live stream of the service.

Procession

Following the memorial service, a Colorado Springs Police Department motorcade will escort the casket and family through the city. The motorcade will continue north on Interstate 25 to Interstate 225 and Interstate 70 en route to Stratton's hometown of Red Cloud, Nebraska, where he will be buried.

Numerous patriotic honors are planned for the procession route. Everyone is encouraged to show respect and gratitude by lining the route with signs and flags.
