St. Paul, Nebraska, a town of 2,300, is a somber place Saturday morning.

Hundreds of people, including the Patriot Guard, fellow Marines, family and friends, gathered at the St. Paul High School gymnasium for the funeral of Capt. Dustin R. Lukasiewicz, who died last month in a helicopter accident on a humanitarian mission in Nepal.

About 70 riders from the Patriot Guard lined Howard Street with flags for the procession.

Rider Don Salmon, 48, drove from Central City to honor Lukasiewicz and his family.
