The procession will travel north on U.S. Highway 281, to the Loop 1604 East access road. The procession will take the exit toward Redland Road and take the turnaround before proceeding to Community Bible Church.
The services will be streamed live on KSAT.com.
Those participating in the honor walk will gather at the Community Bible Church marquee. Media is invited to stage in the parking lot.
An honor walk is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. The honor walk will feature Sheriff Javier Salazar, the Sheriff's Office command staff, pipe and drum corps, a horse drawn carriage carrying K-9 Chucky and the Sheriff's Office's honor guard.
