The body of a Chittenango native who was killed in Afghanistan returned home this morning. Army Sergeant Ed Bolen was killed by a roadside bomb on November 10, only two weeks after being deployed.
The plane carrying Bolen's remains touched down at Hancock Air Base shortly before 11:15 a.m. A short ceremony was held before the casket was driven to Chittenango.
The Patriot Riders motorcycle group lead the entourage as they drove to Chittenango. People lined the streets of Chittenango, paying their respects to Bolen.
Calling hours will be held Friday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Chittenango High School. The burial will follow at Oakwood Cementary
