Ceremony For Missing Soldier

Southfield (WWJ)  -- Today is Armed Forces Day and a special event is planned to honor U-S soldiers missing or captured in Iraq. 

A "ride and rally" for Army Pfc. Byron Fouty, who has been missing along with another soldier in Iraq since last May, is planned to begin at noon.  

Motorcycle riders will gather at Boomers Bar and Grill in Waterford at noon, ending at Kalloway's in Oxford where at 4 p.m. a special ceremony will take place.  

Four soldiers were killed in the ambush, and the body of another soldier taken in the ambush with Fouty and Alex Jimenez was found later in the Euphrates River.  Jimenez is still missing.

Sunday in Lansing, a motorcycle remembrance ride with live music, and military fly-over will take place at noon, at the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
