Luke Sincavage showed up with a smile and determination at the Greer Police Department to make this one of the safest days in Greer.
Mayor Rick Danner and Police Chief Dan Reynolds swore in Sincavage this morning as interim police chief for a day. Sincavage was given the traditional coffee mug and official hat and shirt. He received a replica of a Greer police car and decals.
At 1:24, the small charter plane taxied across the tarmac at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in Greer. It seemed to move gently to a stop at Stevens Aviation as if mindful of the precious cargo it carried. A few yards from a hearse, it rolled to a stop. When its deafening engines finally fell silent, all that could be heard was the sobbing of a young girl.
There was no breeze on this sweltering August afternoon. No shade as the family of Private First Class Adam Ross, killed July 24 in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, sat in folding chairs on the hot expanse of concrete beneath a hazy blue sky. No respite for the hundreds of friends and family and fellow soldiers who stood along the fence with American flags in their hands and tears in their eyes.
