(March 2, 200 
— When the funeral procession arrived at the Pittsford cemetery, 26 white-gloved firefighters stood in rows before the 60 feet of billowing stars-and-stripes suspended from their red trucks.
Behind them, Vietnam War veteran David Brookins, a Webster man who had come to support “a fellow soldier,” waited in frozen salute.
On the other side of the parking lot, Pittsford grandmother Priscilla Imburgia and 8-year-old Alexis Imburgia each held one hand across their chests and another over the corner of an American flag.

Staff writer
(March 2, 200 — Even in death, Army Cpl. Kevin Mowl had a way of touching the school his father has headed for 15 years.
Yellow ribbons tied to trees on the school’s campus have been waiting for his homecoming since a rally for him in September. A fund set up for students will carry on his connection with the school.
“We’re going to Greece, Rome, Italy and Athens,” said 16-year-old Richard Spiecker, a junior at the Rochester School for the Deaf, smiling over the excitement of a 10-day trip in April. Donations in Cpl. Mowl’s memory are going toward the school’s Travel Abroad Program, for juniors and seniors.
