Orange County Register:
"LOS ALAMITOS – The body of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Rick Centanni will be welcomed home Friday as an honor guard presents the Yorba Linda man's casket to his family.
Members of the public who wish to honor Centanni, who was 19, are invited to attend the ceremony at 2 p.m. at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training base.
Centanni was killed in Afghanistan on March 24 by an improvised explosive device that also took the life of his friend, Yorba Linda Marine Sgt. Major Robert Cottle.
Centanni's memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Martin De Porres Catholic Church, where Centanni attended services for most of his life.
A public viewing and memorial is being planned for Cottle in Los Angeles, but no definitive date has been set yet, said his father, Kenneth Cottle.
Centanni's casket will be presented to his family by an honor guard, then a group of military veterans known as the Patriot Guard Riders will escort his hearse to a funeral home in Fullerton."
