This is the final itinerary for Officer Michael D. McGraw, April
14, 2007. Mike was a US Army Veteran and life-long LEO.

prior to KSU at 9:45. Flag line should be in place no later than 10:15.

We have a confirmed Honor Mission for Michael D. McGraw, Investigator for
Ellis County & District Attorney who passed away Monday night from a
heart attack. Mike was a US Army Veteran and life-long LEO. I am in
contact with the family representative, Constable Jimmie Ray, who will
notify me as soon as we get more information. The only solid information
I have at this time is that the service will be at 11:00 AM , Saturday
April 14, 2007 in Corsicana . His wife Felicia is attempting to obtain a
larger church for the funeral, as the one they attend will not
accommodate the anticipated numbers of us who will be there to honor his
memory. It is the family’s desire that Mike be laid to rest with the
other Heroes at DFW National Cemetery after the funeral, but I’m not
sure that’s going to be possible to accomplish in three days so this
will probably become a two-part mission.
