The body of a U.S. Marine killed in Afghanistan returned to a hero's welcome in Vermont Thursday 17th March, where his body was escorted by police from the Burlington International Airport to St. Johnsbury along roads lined with people paying their respects.
The Legislature recessed briefly on Thursday while the procession carrying the body of Cpl. Ian Muller, 22, of North Danville passed in front of the Statehouse while lawmakers watched.
A wake for Muller is scheduled for Friday in St. Johnsbury and the funeral is set for Saturday.
Muller was killed in combat March 11 in Afghanistan's Helmand Province. He joined the Marines in December 2007. Muller was a member of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force based in Camp Lejeune, N.C.
