CLEARLAKE – Services for a Clearlake Marine killed in Afghanistan late last month will be held this week.


Lance Corporal Ivan Wilson died July 21 in southern Afghanistan, as Lake County News has reported.


His mother, Denise Wilson, said funeral services for him will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Clearlake, to be followed by burial at Lower Lake Cemetery.


Jones and Lewis Mortuary in Lower Lake reported it will hold a closed casket visitation for Wilson on Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.


Wilson's body is being brought from Dover, Delaware on Thursday, according to his family.


A motorcade will move through Clearlake at about 3 p.m. on Thursday, said California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Humble.


Two CHP cruisers, six Patriot Guard motorcycle riders, family members and several Marine vehicles will take part in the procession, said Humble.


Clearlake Police Lt. Craig Clausen said a special public tribute area has been set up at Austin Park, at Lakeshore Boulevard and Olympic Drive.


The public is being asked to park at Haverty Field next to Austin Park, where they can gather to watch the procession as it slowly passes, Clausen said.


“We're trying to keep it safe,” he said.


Humble said some roads around Austin Park will be closed to accommodate the motorcade's movement.


For the Saturday funeral, Humble said CHP and Lake County Sheriff's deputies will conduct traffic control on Highway 53 to allow the motorcade through as it passes from the mortuary to the church and then, finally, to the cemetery. Five CHP units have been assigned to the event.


Clausen said Clearlake Police will handle traffic control within the city limits.


Humble said law enforcement planning for the motorcade and funeral has been taking place over the last two weeks, with a final briefing planned for Thursday morning.

The problem with the liberal left is a lack of respect to families that lose their loved one.

Take a vacation from partisan politics and honor the mans family with respect.

The problem with the redneck right is the lack of respect to families when they send other people's kids off to war.

Quit shoving the American flag down our throats trying to claim the title of being "Patriotic."

ALL of us respect Lance Corporal Wilson and his family. I feel horrible for their loss. I can't imagine what they're going through. Good luck to all the families that have to go through losing their child.

Show some respect here. The redneck right? Whatever, I listen to country music, I graduated from LLHS, I make more than $75,000 a year, I listen to Sean Hannity, I guess I am a Redneck Right. THREE of my FIVE kids are going into the military, 1 Daughter Navy, 1 Son Marines, and 1 Daughter Army Reserve, NO ONE is sending my kids anywhere, they have all joined out of their own free will!

Oh yea, Yellowing, at the top of the blog, dont start throwing accusations around about the Bush administration like that, it makes you look real Incompetent, trust me! Do I dare mention the Kennedy, Johnson administration numbers on how many of my fathers brother's were lost. FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND that's 58,000, under a LIBERAL, so lets not go there!

God Bless this Marine, god bless every Sailor, Soldier, Airman, Marine and Guardsmen around the world tonight, who are standing up for freedom.

Yes, it is true. Democrats have also sent people to war and it was a mistake. Vietnam is doing well on its own despite the war. They are moving towards capitalism. The reason: Capitalism works, Communism doesn't. It wasn't the war that made them change. The middle east is also capable of change, but it is unlikely that the war is going to be the deciding factor.
Please don't think that those of us that are against the war are against our country or against our freedoms. We just have a different idea about how to keep our freedoms.
