First Sgt. Gary Settle of the Virginia State Police led the procession through the county. He said the experience was “humbling.”
“Seeing all of the flags and all of the salutes by the fire trucks was incredible,” Settle said.
The procession was so big that it had to be divided into two sections. About 150 vehicles, including motorcycle units and some cruisers, arrived in Warrenton at approximately 2:30 p.m.
The group crested the final hill on Old Auburn Road, the motorcycle officers riding in perfect formation. The cruisers followed with blue lights flashing as deputies directed them into the cemetery.
The main part of the procession, which included the hearse, reportedly contained 1,500 vehicles and stretched for approximately nine miles.
By the time the procession arrived at the cemetery, partly sunny skies had turned cloudy and a cold, steady drizzle had begun to fall.
Dozens of officers, some of whom had come from as far away as Rochester, N.Y., stood on the hill surrounding the cemetery to witness the burial, while a helicopter circled nearby and then swooped overhead.
