The public is invited to line the escort route in a show of respect for Williams and his family.
SPC Clarence Williams III will arrive at MacDill Air Force Base at 9 AM. Following a ceremony on the tarmac, the escort will depart MacDill at approximately 9:30 AM. The route from MacDill is as follows:
