NEWS RELEASE
January 24, 2022
Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman announced that his Office will begin providing
funeral escorts for U.S. military veterans free of charge to the family.
I believe that providing this service for those who have sacrificed and served this great nation is
a tribute that needs to be provided. We need to honor the men and women who have given of
themselves to ensure that we have our freedoms.
I would like to thank Special Deputy Greg Rucker, a brother U.S. Air Force Veteran, for offering
to provide this tribute to our veterans. Special Deputy Rucker is a valuable asset to this office,
always offering his service to better our community. He has made arrangements with the area
funeral homes on how to request this service.
